2) So far I can fit 6.5' boards and golf clubs without major issues and without leaning the seat back down, just backward. But there is a great suction roof rack option available

3) winter driving i cannot speak for but it will affect your battery which is already somewhat concerning as stated in 1. But you can just rely on petrol majority of the time anyways

4) I hate to say this and might get heat for it, but maintenance on these things are a pain. Definitely definitely extend that warranty if possible. I have an '19 w/18k miles and i already have some issues with trunk getting locked in and not opening sometimes, window regulator issues, rear window heating issues etc. relatively minor things of course but not so much if you aren't covered.

All in all, if possible, consider looking into a newer year 2016+. I believe 2014-2015 have the most issues regardless of pre-lci vs lci.

Hope this helps!
The trunk issue is very common, there are several solutions including the emergency handle being not in place or the latch being misaligned
Not worth getting a warranty because of that
