It does get cold, but I typically don't give my vehicles any breaks during the lower temperatures. In Asheville we only get snow a few times a season usually, so salt isn't really a concern. I plan on driving this one throughout the winter.

I've been daily driving the car for the past month or so, which involves about 300 miles a week for work. It's been incredible so far getting to spend so much seat time in this thing. It never fails to disappoint and is extremely practical for every day usage.

Because of the increased use however, I had the pleasure of doing my second oil change on this car. I've been using 4-5k oil change intervals, and have been using an OEM filter and Motul X-Cess 5W-40, which I've had great success with in the past. The odometer is about to cross 48,000 miles which means I've put about 7,500 miles since purchase.
