I'm just south of you a bit in Spokane, Craigster. And I'd venture to say that the sunroof is just as important as the stereo. Tunes & fresh air are what the driving experience is all about. And 4wd is even more important for getting the family around in the snow, towing a boat up a slimy boat ramp, or taking the quads to the ORV park that is down a muddy or snowy road.

I've lived in the Seattle - Spokane area for over 20 yrs & would have to say it's not just this year, but about every 2 or 3 years that winters get ugly. Maybe Victoria is that much nicer. Or maybe it just depends on what you'd like out of your vehicle.
