Just be prepared for the costs attached to owning the car. Right after I graduated there was no way I would feel comfortable with the bills in maintaining my 335

RWD + good tires works if you don't have hills to go up.

Side note: Don't buy bargain snow tires either. I got a set of Hankook
Winter i'cept evo's and they're terrible. (In their defense though, this is my first winter with the car - my last car was an Impreza on Blizzaks and mechanical AWD will always dominate eletronic.)

You don't HAVE to have awd for Michigan winters. I've never been stuck once over the last 6, and that's with Continental Conti-Pro all seasons. There is no doubt xdrive does better in the snow, but even the rwd e90's do remarkable well if driven sensibly.

On another note, the black car has leather the white has leatherette or "sensa-tec", I personal much prefer the feel of leather and think the leatherette feels a bit cheep in comparison.

Mileage isn't a huge issue, if maintained theses cars last a long time. I'm at 150k, 105k of which I put on, and in general the car has been free of major issues. Do all the recomended maintainene, and sure, there are repairs and they are expensive, but if you keep up with it all you will be rewarded with a vehicle that will easily last 200k +

IMO these cars do awful in the snow, and I'm guessing due to a lack of LSD. I have Blizzak's on my stock wheels and am constantly into traction control taking off (even babying it).

This is not my first RWD car I've had in the snow but it has been the worst. I haven't even driven it on anything bad yet (and I probably won't). I only have snow tires because the car came with them - 4WD in the truck does far better, even without traction/yaw control to help out and rocking all terrains instead of snow tires.

Yeah I would be boned if Ohio wasn't totally flat , probably would be going xdrive if I lived anywhere else

You're definitely on the wrong forum homie... go buy a Porsche.

When I think "fast coupe," the 335 definitely isn't the first thing that pops into my head, that's all.
