How it does in the snow

So,

I'm getting ready to place an order for a MCS convertible...but I want it to be a daily driver; so it has to do well in the snow.

Does limited slip really help?

Considering we get traction control, is it truly helpful...or is it overkill?

I don't want to over do the options, but I've always had 4WD and am a little nervous how this car will be in the New England weather.

Any Ideas?

Jason

Updates. . .

Now. my car is on M.T. , and estimated arrival in US is 7/7/05
meaning, TOMORROW.

The MA's rough guess of delivery date is Next Monday or Tuesday. . .!!
Which is just about 1 month after my order has been placed.
Not bad I guess. Not bad at all

or will it be just about 3 weeks from this point?

O yeah and I live in Maryland. Not far from New York..
Your MINI should arrive in New Jersey -- Newark IIRC. Our 2005 was ordered 12 October 04 and delivered 13 December 04 with the options in our sig. More options equals more work apparently! But we got ours through Tate MINI (Annapolis). I couldn't imagine a wait any longer than two months...

It's ALMOST THERE,
I've called my MA today and guess what, BAM delivery date of tomorrow.. July 12, 2005. (I was too excited so I couldn't understand and respond to what MA was asking me.. )

But the sad part is.. I'm going off to South Carolina tonight and coming back on Thursday night

I did not expect the car to come in so early and I cannot change my vacation schedule .....

Well I'm going to hope for my vacation times will fly by.

YAY!!!
