FWIW I haven't found front-wheel drive all that great in the snow when I used to live in such places. It's all in the driver and knowing what to do. I drove humongous POS rear-drive cars with **** CGs about 3 feet rear of the front bumper while growing up in New England. Never spun one, never crashed. 4WD and front-drive is overrated and for sissies.

BTW the STi ain't all that cheap, the interior is chincy as hell, and the insurance is quite expensive - more by far than a 951. I've checked.

I dont even get 20mpg. Worst gas mileage car Ive ever owned and that includes both Porsches and all kinds of other cars. Just not having to put 93 octane in the replacement 325IX is going to save me money.

I stopped putting 93 in the WRX about 4 months ago because it reached $2.50 a gallon. Its on a lease. Not my car. Who cares what it does. Car drives just as well on the cheap stuff -- maybe even better.
