When I had my Leaf, it didn't like winter, simply because of the amount of range using the heater sucked up. I used the seat heater and heated wheel too, but when it got down to zero or occassionally below, you HAD to use the heater. That and the cold air are range killers. Driving wise, it was fine.
Now that I live in Atlanta and have a Prius....what winter??
Yeah I can see that. It was 14 today and I used it for about five minutes and then told myself to stop being such a wimp.
Agreed. I drive a late model Mustang that's honestly trying to kill me . . . not a smidge of control ANYWHERE in that car.
our mustangs heated seats feel great in this weather. :D
"Misses out on"
Too busy still riding the motorcycle!
I was really thankful for heated grips last week, and I did have three wool layers on underneath my liner underneath my jacket. The car looks nice in the garage, though.

The MPV used to not care, in fact, it was a great winter vehicle. However, last summer I had to replace the MAF sensor and housing. 8 months later and it has not reset so I can pass emissions. Now, when the temp gets down to the 20s, it throws an Air Intake Temp code, which causes the charging system to freak out, which, in turn, causes the Trans temp sensor to freak out. Needless to say the dash is lit up like Christmas and the trans shifts so hard, it feels like it's going to fall out. I'm going to attempt to clean the MAF, perhaps replace it again.
the wagon hibernates, the mustang hated it. not sure about the dakota yet. wifes s10 did fine except for the batter freezing last winter when it was -40 windchills out at night
