Hello all, I'm on the verge of buying a mirage es 5 speed. But I have a concern about driving this car in the winter. I can drive stick fairly well but I'm not an expert and i'm worried about acceleration from a stop on hard packed snow. Is it 100% needed to buy some snow tires for a mirage? Also how does the transmission shift in extremely cold temps? A few times a winter we will drop below -20f.
