2. This is same as 1. Tires make or break the performance of the car. I've driven in the crazy hot sunny day hitting well over 130 to all the way to -15 in dry, wet, ice & snow road condition. Stock tires aren't bad. Not much grip even in the dry. Rain is same, just tiny bit slippery, but still can control it. 3. Depends on the model year. <'14MY with valve, cam plate and TOB are common issues. <'17MY front bumper sag issue (TBH all year still have an issue). Dash trim warp can be seen if you leave your car outside in the hot sun. Tip of advice, if you're interested in picking up one, get better tires that fit your needs and better brake pads. Stock are good enough, but not great. |

Both times I drove in the snow on stock tires, I did not make it to where I was going. As everyone else is saying, a lot depends on your tires. For a rwd car, it's very forgiving. Long wheelbase, narrow tires, and forward weight distribution makes it pretty easy to control even beyond the limit of grip if you don't panic. Main problem in the snow is traction on hills, which may or may not be a problem for you.
Only time I lost control of the car was in the rain driving much quicker than I should have been on a twisty road (I was young, stupid, and apparently lucky that I didn't hit anything or fall into the river...). A reasonable speed on any road is no problem at all in the rain. It seems to hold up well against rust. I found a little bit at the edges of the front subframe (which I corrected and repainted) and a little bit on some bracket in the rear wheel well, but nothing particularly concerning. No common defects I know of for 2020 cars, or 2022, but nobody knows much about those yet. |

Forgot about the lug studs as well. I've had to replace about 6 of mine in different wheels. It's debatable too as some users on here will say it's "user error"

Yeah, He snapped all 5 studs on rear driver side. 2 rear passenger. 1 front passenger. Every time he snapped you can hear him scream "FUCK!" few blocks away. lol

Good stuff, thanks to everyone who's thrown their 2c in.
Kansas is pretty flat, so around here snowy conditions are pretty tame. Most people who get into trouble are either those brilliant fools who think the AWD on the back of their soccer-mom crossover means they can still go 75mph on a 60mph highway despite packed snow and black ice, or the people who don't give themselves more room to stop and do a pre-stop brake test. Like if you're coming up on a stop sign, push the brakes a little to see if you have any grip, well in advance of where you're going to NEED that grip to actually stop. I actually like driving my truck in the winter more than I do in the summer for two simple reasons. First, the heater in it will absolutely bake you to death if you crank it. Love it. Second, the truck is MUCH more maneuverable if I can "steer" with the rear tires. It's a 2.2L I4, so it's not like it has much power, but it gets good mileage and I have a 5 speed manual in it so I can put the power it has down pretty precisely. So it sounds like the 86 would be a handful with the stock tires on it, but something I could keep in line if I'm alert. Smarter move would be some all-season tires at least for winter. But since the truck can collect dents without worry (so long as I don't bend the frame or the wheels I'm not worried) it'll still be the preferred foul-weather driver. |

Two lugs can hold a wheel well enough limp it onto a flatbed or (if you're very daring) to a shop. So at the point you snap 4 lugs on one wheel why would you even try the fifth? What would be the goal of that? I wouldn't even put the weight of the car on a wheel held by only one bolt. |

For what it's worth, I think you are misreading that. I would not say you are going to keep it in line with anything less than all-seasons.
