Hi.
Strange winter. I have +8C (46F). Normally -10C (15F) to -20C (-4F).
No problems with Jags in the cold.
Tips:
- Have a good battery. If you do short trips only, get a trickle charger.
- Clean battery posts to ensure you have good contact.
- Oil viscosity, normally not a problem with synthetic oil.
- Winter tires a must when slippery.
- A couple of sandbags in the trunk give you more traction.

my first winter with my XKR
This is my first winter with my XKR, and today's temperature is -17F(-27C).
My XKR is not my daily driver, and I intend to keep it in the garage most of the winter- only taking it out for maintenance work as needed. It hasn't been started in a couple of weeks, but it will be going into the shop tomorrow night for new wheels and tires (summer performance tires). I am anxious to see how it starts after this cold spell.

9 degrees here this morning and no problems with my Ram pickup. Just returned from my refreshing early-morning hike at the local state park with one of our dogs. I'm a polar bear so I love this weather. Wore my usual short-sleeve T-shirt and sweatpants and after my six-mile hike, my shirt was sweat-soaked as always. The back of my hair had frozen up with sweat-dripped icicles. I wish we would get some sub-zero temps here but that looks unlikely this time....
Enjoy this weather while you can....

afraid of salty wintrer roads
I considered taking my XKR out just now and again in the winter, but then I came across this thread- I am now scared to death that this is already happening to my car because I already took it out only once!

Not as cold here. 19F yesterday morning and low 20's this morning. The good news is there's no snow.
Mine is a daily driver and it does have a garage it sleeps in, but no problems so far other than a few new squeaks from the interior. That dash loves to make noise in the cold.
Now if I had just changed out the heat pump when it was a little warmer, my life would be good. Still works about 1/2 strength if I just use the floor vents.
