these are terrific cars. Living in northern nj, I had an 996 turbo daily driver. I did need snows in the winter, but never had any issues driving in bad (sometimes very bad) weather. I drove in and out of NYC daily.
couple of observations - ride height can be inconvenient in heavy snow....when driving in snow, if the plows haven't been out, my splitter was the plow! Also, during the winter I had to be mindful of the big ice chunks that frequently fall off cars/trucks, as I couldn't simply straddle them, like I would with a regular car.
Lastly, depending on your family situation, the small "back seat" and lack of storage can be an issue. I left home depot a few times with things sticking out of the sunroof.
Overall my experience was terrific and won't worry about these cars so long as they are maintained. I sold my daily driver with about 70k miles on the clock....just had to have a gt3. Good luck and enjoy....it made the commuting very fun for me.
