Pfft, that's barely any snow! I'd go outside and take pics of my truck in the snow, but it's -27C (-9 F) WITHOUT the windchill!!
Rims are up for sale, if you're interested (shameless advertisement )

Generally you're safe with a 2006 or newer.

I wouldn't say they have problems, but they fixed some stuff by 2006.

Bought mine in May of 2009. Apart from the coolant icon flashing (usual coolant level sensor BS) I have had no issues with the car. Has not let me down.
