A/C, Cruise and Sat. Radio are all things that can be added to any car. Reliability? My 64 Dart daily driver has had 2 oil changes, 1 set of points, 1 set of plugs, front brakes and a set of tires in 2 years and 60.000 miles. Driveline and suspension are all original and near as I can tell, never opened or overhauled. Car has to have over a half million miles on it. Gets 20 mpg around town and thumbs up every time I stop at a light.
Snow? Millions of people drove millions of these cars billions of miles through every kind of weather the Earth could throw at 'em...and they did just fine.
Sorry man, I live this stuff every day...there are no valid excuses.
