Had mine almost 4 months now and hasn't flooded one time. I don't even think about a flooding possibility.

The flooding issue is overrated imo.

Umm...I live in Massachussetts. Very cold here as well. I had my car about 3 weeks now. Hasn't flooded yet. I always let the car reach operating temp before I shut it off. I'm pretty sure in doing so, chances of it flooding are slim and none. So don't worry too much.

Flooding... just not a big deal. The only thing you can't do is pull the car out to wash it or jockey cars without letting it run for a few minutes.

A vastly overstated problem. That, however, is little consolation for those to whom it really happened. You pays your money; you takes yer chances. The odds are well in your favor.

Keep in mind that people that have problems/issues are more likely to post what is happening. So I wouldn't let that sway your decision.
