I bought my 2000 boxster a few days before Thanksgiving. I only had a week or so before i had to store it. I was driving it when we got caught in a blizzard. It was early in the storm so it was just about 2 or 3 in at the time. I'll tell you though that i was all over the place. I couldn't keep it in a straight line even at 30mph! At one point we lost it and i did a 180 in the middle of the freeway.
I guess snow tires would make things better but i can't believe that it would help that much would it?
I've been driving here in Northern MN for my whole life and i have never driven a car that was so bad in the snow. I love the car! It's also the best car I have ever driven. i think that the tires are just too wide and given the weight of the car it tends to float and washout.
i'll drive my 4x4 blazer untill spring. And then i'll break that baby out.
