I just got back from a 2000 mile trip to Montana from Colorado. Nokian Hakkpeliitta studded snows. Never have I been more comfortable in a car.
Yes the PP1 rides stiffer but even with back issues and being 6’4” I was amazingly comfortable. I had my wife and my 90lb German Shepherd in the back. I removed the rear seats.
I drove in blizzard conditions and snow and ice packed highways. Bitter cold, salt and just downright nasty weather. Mind you, I have a Jeep JL rubicon on 37s but still opted to drive the Mustang. I averaged 26 mpg for the trip running 60-90 the entire way.
I let it completely warm up before leaving. I couldn’t care less what anyone says about letting it warm up. I run Amsoil in it and beat the hell out of it. There is no starting and driving away when the wipers are frozen to the windshield. I’m so impressed with this car in cold weather.
Crazy stable and I ran 65-70 in ice pack roads across miles of Montana highway. I never slipped a studded tire the entire way. Rain/snow mode is helpful. I prefer comfort mode in the steering. The heated elements I installed along with the leather seats were awesome.
