Hyundai Tiburon automatic snow driving?

Ok guys, this is a pretty in depth question so I'd really appreciate a thorough answer. I'm an upcoming senior in high school and I recently sold my '89'Chrysler LeBaron convertible to get something more "practical." As in, something I can drive year round. A little background about where I live, I'm located in Pennsylvania, our winters get pretty bad, I've only had one year of winter driving experience in a FWD 2003 Honda Civic coupe, I did more than fine. I have worked and saved up $9,000 with which I plan to buy a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon GS automatic 4 cylinder with just under 80,000 miles. Is this a smart investment? How will it handle in the winter if I'm to put on 4 winter tires? Is it reliable, will I have any major problems with it down the road? Remember I drove in the winter with a small car and I did fine, will this be the same case if I choose to purchase this Tiburon? My apologies for the drawn-out anecdote, I just want to feel at ease about purchasing this vehicle, I love the look and it's in excellent shape, the price is right too. Thanks everyone, I will give best answer to whoever answers the most thoroughly.

Your Tiburon will do fine with good tires on it. My 2001 Tibby gets me around fine in Connecticut winters. A second set of rims with winter tires will get you almost everywhere, drive safe.
