I dont know about handling. I do know that my 91 xjs has more rust than you can shake a stick at. Ford may have fixed some of those problems, but I wont drive my newer xj6 in the snow. I had it out a little in the winter and it handled good because of the weight. Also if you have a first gear lockout it helps with traction. My cars are not going to see the Michigan salt this winter.
