It is never too cold, wet or choppy to take golf for a blast! 
^+1. Agree - my Golf's a daily driver so gets used whatever the weather, and isn't wrapped up in cotton wool this time of year. I bought it to enjoy it, so that's what I do!
Each to their own but unless it's a (very) long term keeper, don't see the point in not using it this time of year. Don't get me wrong, my car's well cared for - cleaned regularly using 2BM, polished, glazed and sealed regularly as well, but don't see the point in wrapping it up in the winter so the next owner gets all the benefits at the expense of depriving yourself of the enjoyment of using it - life's too short.
Drive it and enjoy it!
If I'd used mine this winter so far I would have killed its front bumper and the sump and probably the sensor in the sump and more due to the rock bolders on the roads (sump guard saved the other car and higher ground clearance), the flood waters (would have cost me 3 days pay and probably my job as would have not got through in the GTI). The sheet ice of a couple weeks ago which the slight tap in the back of the other one I got would have pushed me over the edge if it had been the GTI since i had been stuck in traffic for 4 hours.
The bad winter of 2010 i managed to mangle the door on my winter hack trying to get out the drive to the main road. If that had been the GTI i would have gone mental but then it would have ripped the front bumper off too as they are so low.
Mine gets used March to December as a daily. Then when i want during the winter time. Its just not worth the risk financially to me so a cheap car usually gets used for snow and floods, people on here spend thousands on a set of winter 18s. I spend hundreds on a winter car each to their own.
