Stevelam,
Been driving the Vert since last Tuesday. I have OEM 19" winter tires and other than carefully controlling the acceleration at take off the car performs very well. In fact, now that I'm used to it I'll admit to drifting around corners (in the neighborhood, not on the main roads) for the sheer fun. It's like skiing on 4 wheels
I'm impressed with the roof seals, no cold air coming in from any of the folding panels. The seat heaters work really well and my only concern is when I open the door for the first time in the morning: The window lowers by itself a tiny bit and I'm always worried that if the glass is frozen to the frame it may screw up the small motor.

We're having a heat wave here today. Went from -27 deg C (17 F) to -5 C (23 F) overnight. Almost feels like T-shirt weather after a week of extreme cold, I really should go home with the roof down

Make sure you wear some warm clothes to counter wind chill factor:>!
