Well, the biggest thing that hurts cars is salt in the wintertime. Around here, we're lucky to get 2 inches of snow total per winter. Where Im from, we usually average about 2-3 feet of snow (sometimes per storm). As long as you wash it frequently and take care of it you wont have a problem, especially with mold. Ive never really of anyone ever having mold problems unless they got rained on with the top down.

Sunshine - especially lately.
Control the UV protection and you'll be fine.

Trees. Lots of trees and opportunity to use the shade they provide - at the risk of a slow rain of sap, bird crap, sticks, etc. A tradeoff for sure.

Bugs. I wish each and every one a very painful death.

Maybe 2 weeks of what I would call really "cold" weather (usually) in Febuary. It's definitely been getting warmer and dryer here. Hardly ever snows anymore.

I wouldn't worry about mold. As mentioned above just don't leave the top down if it's wet.
