This is my car too! Everything Scotty has said is true. He should've mentioned that it comes with four new tyres which is, like, really brilliant. On top of that, the reason it is so good in the snow is because of the twin belts, which act like a locked diff meaning that you get full 'power' to both wheels regardless of what the other one is doing. One of the first people to come and look at it actually wanted to take it over to France to compete in an ice racing championship (!?!?).
Like McDot says, the driving experience is like no other car I have ever driven. For an auto it has to be one of the most involving driving experiences out there. My own personal technique is to left foot brake it all the time as the brakes require such a shove to operate that a sensetive left foot isn't required. This allows you to be straight onto the throttle to begin building the all important momentum and once up to speed, you just actuate the throttle a little to keep it in the sweet spot, whilst sawing away at the wheel in an attempt to keep the car heading in the right direction and anticipating any adverse camber on bends so as not to pitch it onto its roof in the twisty stuff. Motoring bliss and all at licence keeping speeds.
My advice, buy it, enjoy it, punt it on. You won't regret it. Forum is really helpful too and we are throwing in a workshop manual.
