I know car wash is the obvious answer, but how does that hold up in freezing temperatures? I don't want frozen doors and windows

Then I am back on the boat to get a G37xs, but then I drive around town in what has to be the worst roads I have ever experienced. I never felt such bad roads and big pot holes and that is driving my stock 2004 Lexus IS300 with 17" wheels.

How well does this car drive safely in snow? Not, fun in snow, but safely? As I cant bring myself in getting a Subaru. Also, how well does this suspension and big 19" wheels handle horrible roads like these?

Please help
I have a g37x coupe here in Cleveland. Honestly the car is a tank in the snow even with all season tires. This past winter I got actual snow tires (glacier grips) and it was absolutely amazing. Even when you start sliding its predictable and controllable. As for car washes, you have to make sure you dry the door seals completely. Mine froze everytime I didn't take the time to dry those doors.

I've been here for a while now so I'm used to it. It's pretty rough especially if you are bad at dodging potholes. I used to have an Acura Tsx on coilovers. Compared to that, the G37 rides very soft and absorbs everything well. It all depends on what you are used to but compared to an average car it rides a little rougher.
