One can hope.
Thank God it's not another 2jz swap.
My one big snow off was in my Mazda 3 and I had been on the highway for over an hour before I hit that one really bad patch of ice. The front wheels didn't even lose traction. The back end slid out and just kind of sucked itself off the side of the road. The front end was clawing for grip but it just couldn't bite.…
That and the fact with all those aids you have no idea how little traction you have until the worst possible moment.
I think all the other people who argue that rwd is bad in the snow have never really tried it in a good rwd winter vehicle.
I think this is the point a lot of people are missing. It's not that rwd vehicles slip less than other drivetrains, it's that they are predictable and manageable when they do slip. People who are arguing the fwd and awd are better are doing it on the basis they slip less often. I'd rather slide 100 times a day in rwd…
That rear wheel drive vehicles are bad in the snow. I would gladly take a rwd vehicles predictable handling traits over fwd or awd. When your slipping in rwd it's easily noticeable and fairly easy to modulate. When your slipping in fwd or awd it comes out of nowhere and you're usually screwed.

I'm a pretty big dude and I daily drove an NA (first gen) for a while. The two big problems was having enough leg room to work the clutch (removed the drivers side arm rest to fix, a common mod on these cars) and getting my big legs under the wheel.) It's doable if you figure out how to make it work for you. I don't…
See, that's what I'm talking about. Any modern car without tilt steering seems insane, especially with all the advances we've made and the countless crazy features we stuff in cars these days.
I don't mean that it's a luxury vehicle feature, I mean it's not a necessity. It's probably been a while since you've been in a car without a tilt column. Try putting your steering wheel at an awkward angle and leaving it there and never moving it. Then try getting in and out a bunch. A tilt column is a necessity…
While telescoping is nice I'd consider it a luxury compared to a tilt column which is practically a necessity.
Tilt steering wheel. You don't know what you got till it's gone.
Try a Miata on mountain roads in West Virginia.
True there are some women who like track focused cars and I know plenty of them, but the majority of women I know just complain about getting in something small and low down.
I know I'd have a much better time with my wife I was driving a C10 as compared to my chances if I were driving an Aventador.
I'm calling it now, nobody is getting laid after they take someone for a ride in a 4C. All anyone will think about after that is how uncomfortable they now are and how juvenile the driver is. That said you won't care though because you'll be off hooning alone.
