One big loss is it's not connected to the house: you have to walk through the yard to get to it. Seems like that removes a lot of the benefit. Obviously it'd be a huge boon to be able to warm up the car and drive out and everything and not once have to actually trek in the snow before you get where you're going.

Almost everybody on our street has one. It's a two-car garage, too!
It's kind of wasted on me, I thought of it as a downside since I'm "paying for it" but will probably get far less use out of it than most people. If I could cut it down to a one-car and get more yard I would (and I'd be tempted to do away with it entirely if not for resale considerations sometime down the line). But, I admit, on the first snow of the year it's quite nice.
I doubt I'll use it to actually house the car more than a half a dozen times a year, when I explicitly know it'll be super cold or snowy the next day. I'll still mostly just be parking out front.

Had our first flurry of the season this morning. I expect it'll be back around March or so for the second.
