Have you guys ever lived in Montreal? In the Winter?
They use Honda Civics for pothole filler in the Spring. They just seem to be about the right size to fill the divots.
Save your Mustang and store it in the Winter if you love it. Drive a beater for the Winter months. You'll appreciate it in 5 years time.

That's all well and good if you've got the cash, but there are some people out there who can't afford to run two vehicles, and need to drive it year round. Sometimes money wins out over love.

 

Thanks all for the replies!

The good news (for me anyways) is that I am leasing the Mustang for 3 years... so what the car will look like in 3 years really doesn't affect me

I'm also assuming that if within the 3 years it takes a battering from the snow and salt this will go under wear and tear so it's the dealers responsibility.

I just ordered my 2015 GT in black on black! I'll post pics once I receive it!

 

I'm sure you'll love it

 

Drive it like you stole it and then hand back the keys in three years, perfect. Definitely post pics.

 

I agree. But the first year I had mine I did drive it in the 2005/2006 Edmonton winter. The key I think is to arrange to have the under carriage washed a few times during the winter months and steam clean the engine to remove road salt and other contaminants.

Also a good protective covering of paint sealant helps to defray the effects of crap cities put on roads during the winter months.

Just finished getting the road salt off the engine in my 07 GT with Autoglym Engine Degreaser. The previous owner obviously drove it in the winter.

 

Not sure why people are worried about driving the car in the winter, every other car on the road has no problems dealing with the conditions , the mustang is built every bit as good . I have a 05 ford escape , no undercoating and it looks great underneath. I will admit that the eastern part of canada is harder on the cars with the amount of salt on the roads but still takes awhile to rust out.

 

Well for me, my question was more so about having a RWD with 435BHP in the snow and ice and wether it was drivable... and a lot of people seem to suggest so.

Also the new Stang seems to have a snow/rain mode which I'm guessing must be good for something.... one would hope so.

 

Hey Mach,

Have you ever driven a high horsepower rear wheel drive car in the winter? Like as a daily driver? Not just going to the macs for a slurpee ?

 

Do you drive yours in the winter procharger? If so how do you find it?
