As a Chicagoan I frequently find myself parking on the street, and by that I mean everyday. Chicago winters are awful, and although this baby doesnt do so well with gas mileage I have never had to shovel myself out of a spot. In my complex I watch every neighbor struggle to get to work on time, while I just drive out of up to 2 feet of snow. I have no idea how this baby does it, but it does every time. I have my car in red and is always easy to find in a suburban parking lot. This gas is a bummer but doesnt break the value of the car
