I drove a WRX last year and loved the drive. A little cheap on the interior appointments, but great car overall. I also like the fact that they've stuck with a flat-six, rather than a V configuration.

A good buddy of mine drives a Sub and loves it. Great in the snow, but remember it is a car, not a truck, so the ground clearance won't be as good.
