Calling all snow men
I've been keeping my car locked up for most of the winter. I'd still take it out every now and then whenever the snow and salt was gone but it was a pain to check the weather like 5 times a day to see if i can take my car or not.
My usual winter beater is your typical FWD honda with all seasons on.. How would the C63 compare with dedicated winters on? Just as good? or still not there yet?
I'm not talking blizzard conditions, have a 4WD SUV for that but your average east coast snow fall every now and then.

Snow it's ok so long as it's not too deep and you are on good tires. Where you get into issues is on ice/hardpacked snow if it gets really cold... this is because there is so much torque from such a low RPM that it can make it very difficult to feather throttle to get traction.
I am going with a beater this year and I am on all-seasons for the nice days when the roads are dry and it's not that cold out. Won't put many miles on the C over the winter... just enough to keep the fluids moving.
