Default Has anyone parked their ISC outside in snow winter time ?

Long story i am currently moved to Quebec, my sister has an ISC and she needs to store the car in the winter time but she couldn't get a second parking space so looks like she has to park the car outside in snow winter time, is there any concern we should look after ? hardtop convertible is fine in snow and ice ? and the salt ? is it going to leak ? thanks in advance.

Pretty sure it can be used like any car anywhere in the world. Cars are built to be used in inclement weather.

If it's to be stored for some length of time or the weather is looking blisteringly cold/extreme, investing in a car cover would be wise to drop on/take off as needed. Otherwise I just think of the car as a normal coupe in the fall/winter and a convertible in the spring/summer. If she's in lower mainland BC... no need at all.

Hardtop convertibles have a ton (pun intended) of disadvantages vs. the softop kind, but it's really the only way to own a droptop in a four season city IMO.
