Unfortunately I have to go against everything my head is telling me and say the Subie. Yeah yeah I know my flame suit is on. But, consider where I live we get snow, a lot and every winter. I can't afford a winter car and then a summer car, so. The WRX provides turbo power, all wheel drive so it doesn't have to be garaged during winter and I have not as many worries driving in snow. And it handles very well, with tremendous potential to be a supa' fas' ca' more easily.
