Thanks guys for the feedback.
One potential problem for us northern drivers are the windshield
wipers.
The way they are positioned it seems that they would likely freeze up
and also collect snow while driving at low speeds.
I asked several dealers about this and the response is "I don't know"
At this point in time I'm going to wait till the weather gets a little
bit colder and do a winter test drive.
