I live in chiacgo and i am most likely going to buy an Mach 1 but i was wondering how the car drives in winter. This is going to be my daily driver so when it snow here in chiacgo like it does i just want to know how it does in winter conditions.. also how long do you guys think i have until the 04 mach's become hard to buy? Thank you

Hey I live in Chicago, too, and have an 03 mach 1 and it is also my daily driver. I had a 01 gt before the mach, and both are obviously not great in the winter, but I have a set of snow tires and those help a lot. It does suck having to drive in the salt and crap in the winter. As long as you can deal with the other drivers on the road who get all pissy because you need to go slower in that type of weather, and the fact that you may not always make it up your driveway at 2am when there is the slightest bit of snow on the ground (which has happened to me more than once!), you should be fine! lol!

What she said!

I bought snow tires for mine. They help enough. And even if you're not getting anywhere fast, fun is only a stab at the throttle away!

I live in Erie, PA in the snow belt and last winter my 02 GT was my daily driver. I used studded snow tires and about 150 LBS to survie but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Just don't get caught with the Z's on there or you'll be a real hazard on the road.
