I am such a Top Gear Fan!

Anyways, just one word............ WINTERTIRES!!!! And you are good to go, this from a Utah guy.

I drove FWD (GTi), RWD (BMW), AWD (TReg etc.) and what not, incl. a C4 and a C2 (thats Porsches, guys), all with wintertires, and it works very well.

I also like the parkinglot advice, do this with the family incl, kids all the time.
Later,

I just worry about the soft back window in the cold temps. As for snow travel there is on substitute for QUATTRO. My old URS4 will go just about anywhere until the snow manages to clear the hood. There is a guy i work with though that runs his 996 C4S all year round. With the right tires I would expect our mid-engined 986's to go very well. They get great traction. It would be the stopping and turning part i would be skeptical of.

as long as you don't try yo operate the top and be careful when clearing the snow off you shouldn't have a problem. I used my soft top Bronco in -30F temps and my windows never broke. Top was not new either.
