I live in Sweden for gods sakes, we get quite a bit of snow every winter, so I know how it is! The roads are always very well cleared and when they are not, it's a freaking snowstorm so bad that only Humvees and big ole Dodge Rams can get trough. And I don't drive under such conditions in any case.
As for the power, I've driven a car that has a bit of power and doesn't even have traction control or stability control for every winter since I got my license five years ago (also did the main portion of my training and took the license during winter), and while it's been close at times because of extremly crappy weather, I've made it trough. Hell I've driven cars with way more power, RWD and no traction control or stability control several times during snowy winters and I've made it out fine. The thing do is simply to take it easy, don't be a in a rush, don't drive like a maniac, and respect the powers of mother nature.
So yeah I'm pretty confident that I'll manage to drive this car in snow, just get a good set of winter tires, take it easy, never ever take off StabiliTrak, and cruise on. Plenty of people around here drive new cars during winter and are fine.
And once again I find it utterly hilarious that I, the non-native English speaker, have way better language skills then many native English speakers. Tips to follow: when speaking about yourself you write "I" with a capital letter, and things like " ' " in words like "I'm" is also useful, oh and it's spelt "begin" not "being".
I leave you with a heartful, In My Opinion
