Dario Franchiti's brother Marino, a racer himself, has an article in the latest EVO praising his daily driver VW Golf GTI (edition 30). He had a 993 but once he moved to London he decided on something more practical. I would think they know something about cold weather driving over there. That's a great issue by the way.

The 3 series BMW is a great winter car. Four snow and they are great in the snow due to the traction control and 50/50 balance. My wife's 5 series wagon (rwd) with 4 snows was great in the snow. Don't fall into the myth that you need fwd. I'd rather have 50/50 balance and 4 snows.

Oil problem is with the 1.8lL engines, both found in VW's and Audi's .the 2.0L does not suffer from this problem.

You might want to check out a nice used Audi S4. Very fun to drive and yet also refined enough for a 50 something...
