motorsports is an expensive hobby, so unless you are from a wealthy family, I don't recommend it during schooling.

I drive from Toronto to Waterloo for work a few times a week (over 100km each way) and my EK + dunlop graspics has never had a problem.

Civic insurance is still cheaper than Vancouver. Some people pay almost $5000 a year for an EM1.

Is Ontario hot in the summer? Is A/C Necessary?

A/C comes handy at times like 30 degree plus with humidity. But other times, you can sort of get away with it.

I haven't recharged my coolent since the day I got my car, rarely use it. It has been 5 years.

Hey Alex, I spent a great deal of my life in Vancouver and never had a problem with RUST till I moved to Ontario. Good luck.

good snow tires + cautious driving + less aggressive = safe winter driving!
