ok, i have kept my eye on an evo8 for a long time now

but the thing im worried about is, im going to college and i dont know if the evo is strong enough to survive throughout the winter, since its going to be sitting in the parking lot... ofcourse im going to drive it during the winter, so im not going to leave it there for 3months

i noticed theres a vent on the hood, which will let water in, and freezes the components in the engine area

but my question is, is it ok to leave the evo8 in the parking lot, even when there is a blizzard, covered up in snow?

if thats not a good idea, then i can just forget about getting the evo, and just get a 4x4 suv instead

 

um, yes of course it is. the vent is really meaningless for rain & snow.

you will absolutely need all-season or winter tires though. the stock tires are summer-only and they mean it.

 

my 1986 prelude worked well in a canadian winter and I never even plugged it in in -35'c weather. I HOPE The evo can do that, even though it would hurt it if it wasnt plugged in.

 

Denver here, and I took it to the mountains a lot...it will be just fine. Do allow proper warmup in the morning

 

the stock tires will kill you in the snow!

 

Does the phrase RALLY CAR mean anything!

 

Ran with Conti Sport Extremes through March..

Downright FUN in the white stuff.

Go for it!!

 

Amazing car in the snow. You could never imagine getting pushed back against your seat with 6" of snow on the road.

 

threw som blizzaks on mine went threw anything and man it was fun.
