I say screw all of those, and go Subie ftw. Basic WRX is sporty and has hatch option or sedan. AWD for winter, looks better, blue can't be beat. And

Basic WRX is sporty and has hatch option or sedan. AWD for winter, looks better, blue can't be beat. And it's still JDM. (like that matters lol)

That's not bad. I think FWD is ok for winter, though. I've driven through all sorts of nasty snow in my Mazda 6. Wouldn't dream of it in the Z. But FWD is ok in snow as well.

True. my tC was just fine in the snow. But still, Subie > All Listed imo.

Here you go buddy, not all the specs will be of the exact ones you're looking at since the specific model you didn't list or they don't have available, but this will give you a good rough estimate based on what's important to you.

I've heard (but don't really know) the wrx and the z make good stablemates.... Again, just hearsay.


Of those options, I'd go speed3. They're a blast. Almost bought one instead of the z.


Do remember that sporty fwd in the snow is not the same as lame fwd in the snow
