I like it but lets be honest were not in Germany or Switzerland where the roads are precisely plowed, groomed and manicured after each snow fall . What do you do when the snow is up to your hood emblem no plow in sight and you have to get somewhere ? Of all my 5 SUV's I find myself driving my oldest one the most in the winter 2002 ML500 absolute tank in the snow .... I can get down my 200m cottage driveway in 4 1/2 feet of snow right to my doorstep without issue .... Not even my Cayenne can do that .... It's weight makes it sink halfway down the drive. I don't care about potholes , hazards or anything in that car just floor it and go never lets me down .

A convertible is not a proper winter vehicle.

Any vehicle is a good snow vehicle with four good snow tires.
If you want to bash snow drifts? Cool. But you have to not care about your instrument.
A snow drift is not a snow drift when it is a snow bank 🏦. Then stuff gets bent or busted.
OP, your steed looks great with its winter boots. Park it when Toronto streets are deep during rush hour, and full of citiots with their summer tires on.
Stay off the unplowed, hard frozen two rut side streets, that will rip off your windage trays.
If you are out, pack boots and coat, gloves and hat, for a good walk if you get stuck. I’m not trashing your ride. Everyone should have that in their car for winter driving.
Don’t do leave downtown like my brother in law, in his penny loafers and a blazer, and drive to Collingwood in the worst snow storm of the winter. And he got a flat tire.
If your really good. Toss a tow strap in the drunk. I’ll yank you out, or at least somebody else can, if your high centered.
Sure you can wait 2 hours for CAA to arrive. It’s always nice to self sufficient.

Yup. I've winter driven all my Porsches: 987.2 Cayman S, 991 C2, 997.2 C4S Cab, 997.2 C4S Coupe, 997.2 GTS coupe. Never had a problem.
Plus I have my Cayenne for really ****ty conditions when I have to drive.

It's all about the salt for me.
I drove my TT the first winter I had it. What a hoot! Until in the spring when I put it on my lift and looked at the carnage.
If it was leased or I was making payments I might look at it differently.

very nice car .... but a convertible 2 wheel drive low to the ground vehicle a proper winter vehicle ? , i hope that was tongue in cheek , or you meant a downtown Toronto proper winter vehicle..

i think a big *** SUV would likely be a proper winter vehicle with high clearance , knobby tires and some weight ..

i settled for a torsen diff all wheel drive manual sedan with good winters at a lower price point in case of mishaps as we are closer to the snow belt area out here.

Drove to North Bay today and a bunch of Muskoka backroads. Gorgeous day for it with clear roads.

Lowered C4S cab here, 10 years of winter driving, awesome car for it

Why is that?

Baller!

I also have a soft top Miata as winter driver. Like doing your own Porsche Camp 4 when you feel like a bit of tail out fun.

Also have SUV as backup when it gets really bad.

Is the top still fully manual?

Because it's a CONVERTIBLE.
