Caveat: I've got an older model! But I've driven most of the models!
1. Don't know. Do a search, the 6cyl seems reliable, will give a bit less gas mileage, and is only available w/auto trans.
2. Performance tires on the aero w/be almost useless and likely dangerous in any snow; plan on an extra set of tires or wheel/tire combo. Even when compared to all season tires, appropriate snow tires make a huge difference in snow. Not a bad idea if you have much of the white stuff.
3.don't know!
4.They seem to work, the fan is a bit loud. I've wished I had them in the summer, if only to try!
5.The handling is different. In '02, the chassis stiffness and handling was improved markedly across the board for ALL models. IMHO, the '02 arc is light years above the earlier lpt and arc models, which were too soft - for me! I tend to lean towards the aero, but I'd take some longer test drives in both models back to back with mixed driving conditions and use your own "butt test"
