I've driven an MR2 turbo and Mustang 5.0 in the winter without getting into any accidents and getting stuck only once in the MR2 more due to lack of ground clearance. Winter tires is the key. That said most of Calgary's drivers aren't competent enough to drive these types of cars in winter because they suck even with FWD or AWD.

Just wait until it doesn't start when it gets cold.

Get ready for a $1400 bill from the dealer when they say that can't find a fault.

So much for warranty.

Must be the drivers fault when it's -15 outside and the car doesn't start.

And they say the FR-S doesn't have a hard starting/stalling condition.

Although I found it amusing that they used the boxer design to have different starting procedure.

Just blame it on the customer.

Care to explain what exactly you're going on about? The only cold starting issues I've come across are people running E85 tunes and those have been getting worked out by the tuners slowly.

Hate bodykits but I just can't help but love some of the concepts people have done with this car.

wow that Abflug kit looks amazing. I saw one of these in black yesterday - except for the tailight it looks great. Not sure of this was posted but check what 500lbs of weight savings and some suspension/brake mods do to this car lol. Faster laptime than F458 Italia.

Finally drove a FR-S today. Really impressed, I was on the fence of getting rid of my 135i and getting either or FR-S or BR-Z Sport Tech, but I have a few issues.

What! BMW 135i >>>>>>> FR-S

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Ah I didn't actually do it because of those issues. Power, they won't do anything for negotiations, and the finance rate sucks.
