I try to use it as much as possible! I’m surprised how stable it is in the snow with good winter tire

Always gentle with this nastiness outside. Maybe a little less than the C2 and C2S with similar tires...

With proper winter tires, you would be surprised. You don’t have to baby it.

I know, I had Alpin 4 on the 991 and 991.2; Alpin 5 on the 992.
They don't plow that well in the burbs, so we get a lot of slush with lots of cars parked on the streets. There's the isolated empty parking lots for some controlled hooliganess...

Looks great and makes me feel guilty for the grimy condition of my cars despite the perfect weather we have in San Diego.
