Garage
Consideration in winter?

You will get stone chips on the nose of the car.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil 0w 40.
Starts well in cold weather. I keep the Box in the garage but it is not heated.
Hope you have heated seats!
Hardtop should be good in winter but not entirely necessary.
I drive in max 3 inches of snow otherwise becomes a snowplough - snow gets into the front radiator intakes and I don't like to hear the snow scraping the bottom of the car.
And I say it again - need good snow tires for traction but never been stuck yet.

As the above poster says it is easy to spend several $k on the car replacing stuff. Graduate the spending and make sure it is the car you want to have long term.
Enjoy, G.
