Having the sport package with limited slip is a real advantage (my RX-8 had LSD too). At least with cars like these you always know what is going on at the road surface.
I do miss the RX-8 for being able to load the rear seats with the in-laws for more ballast in the rear  |
I still have an RX-8 and use Dunlop winter 18's and that car does just fine in the snow. The lack of torque + traction control makes this car pretty easy to drive in the snow. I will likely end up in a 370 for my next car and the first thing I did was check tirerack.com for winter packages as this would be my only car and it says call for infor on the 370. Initally my big worry was that 18s wouldn't fit over the brakes on the sport package but that has been put to rest based on what people on here have said.
