You might want to consider the lack of a posi rear end in the auto version of the v6. I have the manual v6 which has the same limited slip as the v8 cars. I have been through two winters with the stock 18 inch bfgs on heritage wheels with no problems.
I will however grab the 4wd truck if more than 3 inchs of snow hit the ground. This is only due to me not wanting to smash one of the giant windrows our local plow drivers leave at the intersections. With a 3800 pound car and 52/48 weight bias there is roughly 1900 lbs on those rear tires to make traction with. I was very please with the snow performance. To much go pedel makes all the traction lights turn on in the snow.
As for rain yep you can end up facing the wrong dirrection if you turn off the nanny's and get to agressive. This can also be done on dry pavement if really pushin the little 6. Leave the big brother stabilitrack on and everything is rock solid.
Find a big smooth parking lot on the first snow day, turn off all the nannys and find out what you and the car are capable of before hitting the road.
