I flew out to Winnipeg with my dad to pick up his new "used" car a couple years ago. I'm not going to say what car it was, apparently 1 of 7 that were available to dealerships in Canada with almost 550hp...but the previous owner traded it in after 3,000km for a Range Rover. The sales lady said that after one summer of driving it the guy realized it wasn't made for Winnipeg roads. It's been surviving Edmonton roads just fine.....but yeah, you do need to be extremely aware of pot holes and stuff.
