How would you describe having a manual G80/G82 in the tristate area? Plan on financing but not sure how the rwd will hold up (only ever gotten AWD cars)

I have no regrets whatsoever. This car is no more difficult to drive than any other car with a stick, and better than many. I still love driving a stick.

Agree with everything that was said here. I've only driven RWD MT cars for the last 12 years in Chicago and had no problems. Just slap a good set of winters on for the cold season and you should be just fine.

No regrets here, and I'm always stuck in traffic around the Bronx/Queens/Westchester County. Sure it gets tedious at times, but the times you're able to row and enjoy gears 3-6 and back make it all worth while. Haven't driven in the actual snow yet, but I imagine it's no different than any other RWD car.
