Should i get a honda civic coupe or toyota 86/Subaru brz?
I really like the toyota 86 but i'm worried it might not be practical in the snow since it is rwd. I'm also considering a honda civic coupe which is fwd so i should not have any problems in the snow. What do you think?
The only '86 Toyotas that are rear-wheel drive are some trucks--no cars. I think any car you buy that's 33 or 34 years old is going to be problematic, and if you're driving it in snow, is going to be a rust bucket soon if it isn't already.
If the snow is that bad that long in your area, it's a reasonable question. But balance that with how much you're going to enjoy driving the rest of the year, and whether that's important enough.
Regardless of which vehicle you choose, winter tires make a world of difference when driving in the white stuff.
Rear wheel drive can be a handful to handle when the roads are slippery But winter tires, combined with sensible driving techniques, can get you through a lot of bad weather.
The other thing to keep in mind with either vehicle is they are both relatively low vehicles ( but the Toyota/Subaru is worse with less than 5" ground clearance ). If you have any significant snow accumulation, both vehicles can easily become stuck if the roads are not plowed.
Rwd + snow tires is better than fwd or awd with all seasons in the winter.
If you want a Civic, get a sedan, there's no reason to get a coupe. But overall, a Corolla is more reliable. But if you do get a 86, you will need to have a set of snow tires. With standard rubber, your car will be useless in the snow, but I'd say that awd with standard rubber is nearly as bad in the snow. Tires make all the difference.
Since you want an 86, I'm going to assume that you are a kid who doesn't realize that the insurance is very high on those things, they are very slow, they have no strorage space, they are ugly, and the valve springs can fail which can make the engine explode.
My brother bought a Honda Civic coupe because it was FWD he figured he would never get stuck. He got stuck. FWD guarantees nothing. We have had RWD for over 100 years and no TowTruck company are millionaires because of RWD. You just put on good winter tires and drive the speed according to winter driving conditions. You can't drive 70 when road conditions dictate 40.
- Why Suzuki is not as popular as Toyota, Honda.Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru? I hardly see any Suzuki vehicles on the road, and wonder why if t is also Japanese. it appears that both Mitsubishi and Suzuki lag behind its Japanese counterparts. I feel Suzuki are very good cars, but most people fail to see that and they don't notice it.
- How did Mitsubishi compare to Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, and Mazda in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's? I remember back in the early 2000's, I used to see many Mitsubishi's being driven. Now, I hardly see them around. Was Mitsubishi, generally, as good as the other car-makes mentioned above, in terms of general customer-satisfaction (fuel-efficiency, reliability, etc.)? In the US
- Should I get a 2016 Honda CR-V EX AWD or a Subaru Crosstrek 2.1i Limited? I can't decide between the two cars! They are about the same price. Which one is a better car? Please help! I'm in my last year of college and I'm probably going to move to Colorado.

I'm probably going to end up moving to Colorado but I don't think I will go off road at all. Which of these is the better car? Which do you think will last longer?
