I bet you it doesn't get as cold here as you may imagine and it actually gets decently warm too!

Comparison!

Your wiki seems to hide the Climate data so you need to click Show if you actually want to see it. :P

Unfortunately our readings are done at the airport which is at a higher elevation so the readings are always colder than they are in the city no matter what season.

Anyway, I better stop talking before people realize how awesome it is here and decide to move here themselves.

No I agree about not wanting a new car without AC. Just was giving you a hard time since you have almost perfect summers (at least to me).

Where I live I can't really complain. But I live in the interior, we live in a valley surrounded by mountains with a lake wrapping around the city so it makes for not as cold winters but really hot summers compared to a lot of the country.

I love it here but I spent many of my first years here in a car without Air Conditioning and even with all the windows rolled down, if the car was stuck on the bridge (the bad thing about lakes...) I would start sweating an insane amount before I even got to my appointments. Oh, and the memories flood back in...

This summer we had 53 days of +100 degree temps. Now that is hot.

Heat is heat. How was the humidity? It breached 100 multiple times over the summer here, but it was really WET the entire summer... it was hell.

The dew point got well into the 80s on many occasions.

Humidity? What's that?

The feeling of walking outside, and the desire to run back inside to take another shower >_>

That's humidity lol.

The humidity here is good. We have a dry heat. It feels hot but it's not uncomfortable in the way that 100% humidity is uncomfortable.

Nice! We went 5 whole pages before devolving into a completely unrelated topic. That is some kind of record..

I got the survey and took it yesterday as well. I signed up on the Subie site for the "Subaru Insider" bit a long while back, so I suspect that is where they got my email address. Here is a question for the group. What do you think of the Galaxy Blue Silica on this car? I actually like that dark blue, if it is not too purple. It looked good on the survey sample, more like the dark blue on my current Subaru. Since I rarely (never?) see that color discussed around here, I fear they will not see it on the survey and they'll make very few in that color.

WR Blue will be made regardless--Subie is committed to it. And we have too many silver cars on the road! We need to select the other colors to get a bit of variety.

And here in the US Midwest, we get a huge range of weather. Can't imagine going without AC.

GBS is the rearest color. Don't see many pics of it.

Here is one of the few I've seen, and it's on the Toyota:

Yeah but I need to see it on the BRZ in different settings and lighting. Not enough pics.

Agreed. Here's another pic, but I am not sure it helps much.
