A fun little car ( picked it up for about $3k ) but absolutely SUCKS in the snow !!!
The hatchback and removable sun roof is nice, but due to the front engine / rear wheel drive design, if there is ANY snow on the ground don't expect to go anywhere ( I found this out the hard way one night ).
Hope this helps...

Did you have snow tires on the car? If not, I agree 924s are helpless in snow.
I've driven 924s in the winter for decades. If you install quality snow tires on all four wheels and put about three 40 pound bags of salt in the hatch, they are great in the snow.
