Can a Honda S2000 with proper snow tires survive Canada's winter?

I'm planning to buy a Honda S2000, but i live in Markham, Ontario, im really concerned if i can drive it in the winter cause i live alone so i wont buy another for winter.

Yeah you should really garage it over the winter. Its so lite you would be all over the place unless you loaded it up with weight. But you and I both know you engine doesn't pack alot of low-end punch to cart that extra weight around.

yes just keep rpms down my 2 liter 140hp 6000rpm will spin tiny tires but as long as you keep rpm low and shift your just fine































if you wash wax it you could garage it for eco beater car in winter, its still only s2000 honda not supercar































try keeping rpm under 3000 in snow you wont go wrong

It definitely isn't the ideal winter transportation but some nice fat snow tires....some sand bags or other heavy items in the trunk.... and as said...keeping the rpms low should go a long way to helping you drive on paved snowy roads. On unpaved roads though..with more than 3 inches or so of snow.....your going to have a clearance problem as those cars sit very low to the ground. If you can afford an S2000, you should probably go ahead and buy yourself a nice cheap winter beater for the snowfalls.
