should I buy a cl-s for win terr

I am looking for a strong performing winter car, ideally I would want an M3 however the high payment s and rwd are discouraging me.

A dealer is willing to sell me an 03 cl type s for around 27K, I was thinking about a 3 year lease.

I have never driven one but if the lease rate is decent I may go for it. any advice, btw my summer car is an s2000.

I'm using my CLS 6spd as my winter beater

It's got FWD which is better in the snow, so sure why not.

Mitsu Evolution for a winter ride. I think you'd be pleased.

i drove the cl, the v6 accord coupe and the wrx. I am going with the accord, felt as fast in the butt dyno and much better build quality than the rex.

I plan on using mine for the winter, and I live in metro Detroit. I plan on getting winter tires just because I have the 6 speed, and the rapid clutch engagement probably isn't the best thing for trying to not spin on snow/ice. I sometimes wish I got a WRX for a winter ride, but the CL-S has such a nicer interior, better overall quality, and not to mention doesn't look like a bug.

why would you get an evo for a winter car, right off the bat your would have to get a new set of tires and wheels.
