Very predictable and controllable handling if I push I bit too much, I definitely feel those overconfident pick-up trucks blasting on the road could do more harm to others.

Yup...a mid engine car is quite good in the snow with properly sized winter tires.

I drove Fiero GT in the winter years ago...it would plow through stuff. Just had to watch parking lots...low stance cars can get hung up.

I drove 914 all year around through snowy winter in college decades ago, and it did work well. Much better heater than 73 Beetle that almost killed me with leaky heat exchangers blowing carbon monoxide.
