I use mine as a daily driver. Rain dries, car washes take care of dirt and ding can be pulled out. That's not to say I like getting dings, in fact I hate them with a passion. But it happens so I deal with it. I have a guy that comes out to my house and pulls the dings and I wash my car weekly.

The XKR is fantastic in the snow. Providing you give it adequate traction with a good set of winter tyres. The stablilty program works flawlessly and the only thing you may need to do is utilize the TRAC DSC mode. I use mine daily the only weather related problem is it doesn't do well with puddles. otherwise it is a fantastic daily driver.
I am turning in my XKR in a few weeks If your interested in a good set of blizzaks/rims with TPMS PM me. What ever you do do not drive with the standard HP summer rubber on the car in the winter they are way too hard for use below 32degrees. All season tires are actually a misnomer they should be no season tires because they don't offer good performance in any weather.

Mine's a daily driver as well. I echo what XKRMD said - it's fine in the snow, don't drive on summer tires, and use TRAC DSC mode. I drove in 6 or 7 snowfalls/snow-ice last winter between 1" and 5" here in Colorado and had no problem. It helps to be comfortable with what to do when the back end breaks loose (I learned to drive on a VW bug and loved to downshift and fishtail) and to drive/live in fear of jamming the nice wheels into a curb. Check the manual re: TRAC DSC. Click it so it displays. That allows the wheels to slip a bit before traction control kicks in. You don't want to turn it off (holding it down for 15 seconds or so).
You may want to get a car cover. I cover in summer; and off/on other times.
