2nd Gen at winter?
#1
I don't have rx-7 and I would love the 2nd gen but how well does it go on ice and snow and does it start in -20 degrees celsius, and that kind of things... cars are kind of expensive in finland and it would be my only car...

also remember the ground clearance. I don't drive my 7 in the winter becuz there is no traction what so ever, and i would spin out and get stuck daily. I don;t know how snow tires would work though. I have toyo proxes and they're performance tires. Plus i don't want rust and i don't want to risk getting hit. It starts below temps, but i let it warm up, becuz all the fluids are like frozen and i can't shift and my powersteering don't work until it warms up.

I had a Subaru that would get stuck in the snow after I lowered it
The RX-7 is probably a bit too low to be a good winter car, even with snow tires.
