I've driven 924s in the winter for decades. If you install quality snow tires on all four wheels and put about three 40 pound bags of salt in the hatch, they are great in the snow.
Paul,

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee for the winter, the 924 was my fun car, but one night I got caught in an unexpected snow storm without winter tires and without anything to weight down the rear. I was caught at a red light at an intersection on a slight incline and when the light changed I could not go anywhere. Once all the cars stuck behind me finally went around me, I had to back up and turn around and head back the way I came...
