i drive the 7 when there's no snow/no chances of snowing for 2-3 days.....kinda hard here in Canada.....



my 7 likes cold temp. i feel more power than during the summer....



it warms up quickly (faster than my probe) and isnt too bad on the road...

well i drove mine every day in the winter of 2000-2001.

half was in a new jersey winter which wasnt that bad and the other half was in vermont, where it was pretty friggin cold.

i didnt have any problems. i would have to tap the gas and then hold it to start the car but that was the only thing. other than that it was fine. it actually did pretty well for a 2800lb rear wheel drive car in the snow. i put a descent set of tires on it and i never got stuck either.
