Canada, due to its harsher climates and driving conditions, usually gets cars that have more "heavy duty" equipment than those sold south of the border. Those findings by CR related to driving (and stopping) may therefore possibly be going to be worse in Canada? In any case, this car is being sold in Canada too now and may not be a bad thing for this concern be posted here as well. There are plenty of duplications, and safety-related ones may be more helpful than detrimental in more than one place, IMHO.
