I am wondering how 928's fare in Canada, especially in the Toronto
area. How far can you drive into winter, if not through winter. Since
they have a 50/50 weight distribution, I thought that they would
survive a bit better when snow starts to fly.

I could be wrong though , since it has the other "winter wrongs" like
wide tires and a powerful engine. Any thoughts?

Cheers ...

Well I am wondering where you might be from, since you are not too familiar
with driving or winter or Toronto
They never have fared as wel as the 911. But you still see 944's and 928's
still kicking around. But I think the owners usualy put them in their garage
for the winter.

You don't drive a Porsche in winter, because the salt will rust the car. The
first snow usually comes in late December, or early January, though there
may be a dusting prior to that, and is gone late March, early May. Of course
except during snow storms, the roads are clear all winter long. And you can
get Blizzacks for a Porsche.

If you drive them through the winter, I doubt they would last longer than
any other car people drive through winter.
Wide tires are better than thin tires in snow, providing they are not summer
slicks. A Porsche would be a fine ride, in the winter, in Toronto.
But isn't a 928 like a 10 year old car already? If I were you, I would buy a
beater for the winter.

ACC has basically summed it up. Porsche's aren't really made for extremelly cold weathers. It will take a while to warm up, especailly in the mornings.
