I bought my 99 boxster in spring of this year, and it's my daily driving car, but here in Quebec with snow, calcium and rocks, I will let it beside for the winter, but for Spring/Summer/Fall, it's my main car and I got nothing to complain

In the Northeast I would say it isn't a daily driver given the ice and snow we get along with the resultant frost heaves and potholes. For that reason a good all wheel drive vehicle is the best. Regardless, I know an attorney who drives his Boxster year round putting snows on in the winter. He drives everyday except the day of a large snow. I don't have snows just Pirelli P Zero's so I put mine up. Plus it would hurt me( LOL ) to drive it in all that salty slush following a snow.

Reading some of the posts from all of you in the warmer climes makes me jealous..

It's the same with my harley.... My friends in the warmer climes ride year round while we put our bikes away for hibernation. : (

Another daily driver here. I've driven it for almost 3 years in every season, torrential downpours, snow and ice, wind, etc., etc., with no problems at all. What's that saying? Something like: "If you're too concerned about breaking it, it means you can't afford it"

The only time I've ever second-guessed its performance as a year-round vehicle was on a highly crowned, narrow, ice-covered 1-lane road w/ parallel parking on either side of it. Took me about 10 minutes to go 1/4 of a mile, but I made it with no mishaps. Now, I just drive the wife's FWD Honda in those types of conditions.
