I also dont want rear wipers i dont even plan to take this out on wet weather so it will be useless to me but I hope it will have an oilcooler and oil pressure gauge like the old AE86

Edit: My first car was an RWD Toyota Previa minivan with all seasons. I drove across Canada in the middle of winter through some of the worst storm and snow you can imagine on my 18th birthday by myself over 3 days. I drove 19 hours driving the first day, 12 hours the second day and 18 hours the third. It's a miracle I'm alive but it did teach me how to drive in snow! I swear I'm not making this up, the police had to route my fan into the ditch around a full flipped 18 wheeler in the middle of the transcanada highway.

Canadians can drive ANYTHING in the snow.
250" annually? Try doubling that (depends on area). 360 degree I look around, I only have mountain. Few yrs, it snowed in July... and I'm not joking on this one. 2yrs ago, it was freaking snowing/raining til end June. Now, try driving in that condition.

I gotta say I love sun roofs, I'd love any form of open roof - T-top, targa, sunroof

If I get this car, I will most likely not drive it in the snow

I live in NYC and we get pretty nasty blizzards.

for example, last winter, I just parked the car on the side for weeks and kept cleaning it whenever it needed to be cleaned.

It will be my daily drive, so I will drive it in snow; however, It rarely snows heavily here in WA( at least in my area). I will not drive it if they use salt on the road tho.

Edit: I want Entune.

I drove an open-dif 86 through some Ottawa winters on crappy winter tires, hell I competed in snow-cross with it. I'll do it again in a new car with good winter tires and an LSD; I spend all summer looking forward to driving in the winter - going sideways without hurting my tires. And I'm not saying the sun roof should be standard, just optional. My last two cars had sun roofs and I really like them.

That's awesome... where do you live? I ski up in Revelstoke most winters. They average 600 inches annually which is the most snow in North America (excluding Alaska). Alyeska Alaska gets 1100 inches per year which sounds orgasmic to me!

That's not awesome for me... I don't like cold weather, so whole winter I just hibernate. Anyways, closest ski/board area to me is Alta/Snowbird.

Now, I'm just glad I don't live in Alyeska. I'll prob killing myself there. In other hand, if I live in TX or AZ, I'll be enjoying the heat!

OMG.... You live close to Alta/Snowbird and you don't ride?!? The world isn't fair. I've been trying to move my career to the mountains for years but it's hard to be an Exchange and Blackberry admin in the rockies
