I don't know how it is in Finland with parking, owning more than one vehicle, taxes, the cost of an old beater and what it takes to keep it passing MOT or whatever they have, ect...- and that's why I asked- but from my perspective, I can't see any reason at all to spend any time or money on making an X150 halfway work in the snow when $2000-$2500 would get you a decent mid 90's Civic and leave you with enough to get a set of snow tires.
I'd assume that very few people here have a second vehicle specifically for winter. Cars are expensive here, and any modern car will easily negotiate most winter scenarios, unless you need to drive on unplowed roads in the countryside or such.
As such, it's more common to have an enjoyable old summer car than a dreary old winter car.

Oh, and I also have a couple "Play" cars, a Pro Street Mustang II and a blown 95 Mustang GT. And a bike.
Wow, way too much information. Sorry.

My wife and I each have a good Occasional Car, my XKR and her RX350. I have two pickups for 'normal' and she has a hybrid Ford Fusion for whenever and commuting. Our kids have an old Taurus that we bought for them to use when our daughter's husband thought the bright red "OIL" light meant that he should have the oil changed 'eventually'. He drove it for three weeks like that, until the noise became so bad he was scared. Our daughter checked it for him and immediately went to an Auto Zone or wherever, and they added over FOUR QUARTS. Yeah, that car hasn't moved in almost a year now. They still owe a couple grand on it, which is even worse.

Not my picture, stolen from the Interwebz. This one has the Honda sissy bar and rack, I built my own which looks MUCH nicer.
