Yes I watched a 996 Turbo plow up a hill once while every other car was drifting backwards. But driving a Turbo in winter comes with its own long-term costs...
This was my thinking in testing out a few 996.2 C4S's, figured it would be (somewhat) cheaper to run. But I couldn't get over how much less nimble the car was. Heavy. And so many were Cabs...
My conclusion was that it was better to have an actual winter car for that utility. In retrospect I should have picked up a Wrangler to tool around in from Dec. to March. Keep the Boxster and mid-engine fun on sticky tires.
