It's a sports car (or as some feel, a sports GT), and with that being said, it's never going to be the greatest car in the snow.
ANY car with wide tires and rear drive and this little weight isn't going to want to plow thru any snow of much depth.
Many here have found by installing "dedicated" winter tires that were taller and not as wide as the stock tires, and by adding about 100lbs of ballast in the trunk, the Crossfire can be made more user friendly in the winter.
But until somebody like "Rudy" comes up with a Mercedes 4matic system for our Crossfires, it's probably never going to be anybodys 1st. choice for winter driving.
I get that, but why couldn't they have at least made it as good as a Ford Mustang's traction control??? I mean we are not talking about a highend car...just a Mustang!?! Just hard to believe a $20K new Ford car got it right and a $50K Chrysler/Mercedes couldn't, lol. And that figure was for the ford new. It was only 1 year newer than my XF. Oh well, it is what it is I guess. Even Ford has to win a point now and then on the ole XF, haha
