Anybody in Michigan? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My gf is considering moving to MI to attend schools. She'll probably choose from Grand Rapids, Lansing, or Auburn Hills to live in.

I have never been to MI before. How's the weather? Does she need a 4WD? She lived in Chicago before so how does that compare?

How's the people? Are they nice?

She drives an MR-2. I think I need to get her a Dodge Ram because some of the school buildings are blocks from the Chrysler headquarter. I can already see angry Chrysler workers beating up her car

The winters in Michigan are pretty brutal. I live near grand rapids. An mr2 is not a smart car to have in michigan winters. Summers are fine of course. You dont have to have 4wd but it would be better. The bare neccesity is a fwd with good all season tires and good tread on them. Snow tires would be even better.

Yeah I'm from battle creek, michigan and the winters are best to have a truck with 4x4 because sometimes can get bad. but one of my best friends own a MR2 and his winter car is a 01 monte carlo

I live near flint. i would say that the winters are pretty comparable to chicago. FWD is all you need up here
