Should I or shouldn't I - please help

I'm seriously thinking of buying an 05, 6 speed. Do all new 8's have the M flash? How do they handle in the snow? Can 2 adults really fit in the rear seat? What mpg are you getting (18-24 seems alright to me for what you get). Worried about flooding, cold starting, rotary issues etc. Help.

I say don't fret. It's a great car.

1. All '05 8's should have the latest updates.
2. You wouldn't want to drive this car in the snow unless you have at least all-season tires on. I wouldn't drive in any kind of deeper snow or ice without snow tires.
3. Two adults could probably fit in the rear seats for short trips, but I wouldn't buy this car if I knew I would be using a back seat with any kind of frequency (it is still a sports car).
4. I get 18mpg in mixed driving, going rather brisk. I think 24 is a stretch unless you are 100% highway.
