Hi guys, im thinking of leasing an 86 (manual) once my current lease is up. 86 has been a dream car but having two cars isn't viable (for at least 1-2 years) for me and my partner. Problem is I would hate to buy used later on. I also definitely want this gen and manual. So another thing I'm concerned about is how easy it will be to find even a used one that is dealership certified.

I'm wondering how viable it is to drive an 86 in Calgary winters for say 2 years? I mean that including getting out of a hilly garage back road. Although this car has been my dream car, and I'd much rather have it new, and it must be manual/this gen (I'd rather not buy it otherwise), im also trying to be realistic given our experience being stuck in doors because our corolla Im (albeit with no winter tires) couldn't make it to a main road.

Thanks!
