I use to have a 1988 944 as a winter beater. It ran great in the snow as long as you keep the stock rims and a good set of all season tires. So many people put 17s on them but the stock skinny rims cut the snow better.

I would reccomend a 1987 and newer 944. They have the newer interrior and most importantly, they have the updated timing belt tensioner (can you say less time in the shop??)
