My 940 Turbo Wagon (basically the same car) is quite good in the snow (and I'm in Maine, so we get snow). But it has the locking differential, and 4 studded snows. If it didn't have the locker, I'm sure it would be a different story. You said your getting the car cheap, right? My suggestion would be take some of the money you're saving on the car, and install a locking or limited slip differential -- and get 4 studded snows. You will be very happy with the results.
