Default RR for winter vehicle

Hey guys, been browsing the forums for a bit and thought I'd finally register.

Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on a RR for my winter vehicle.

I live in Toronto, Ontario and the winters aren't too bad, I just something for a few months out of the year.

I was looking at 03-07 RR and RR Sport.

Trying to be as cost efficient as possible because I'd barly be using it.

If I can get away with older for cheaper I'd like to but trying to keep problems minimal.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

from what i've learned so far, stick with the 2006+ RRs that are jag powered. the BMW RRs are more problematic.

I use my RR exclusively for winter use and love it. If you are concerned about being cost efficient though I would not recommend the RR at all. You can do much better with something else that would be just as good in the snow. My Rover is like a tank in the snow but the gas mileage and maintenance are similar to an actual tank. Like I said, I absolutely love mine but If you are concerned about $$$ don't get one.
