I don't doubt that I would... The thing is peppy as hell and you can't beat AWD. But we'll determine who wins overall based on the number of bus lengths one wins by in the winter vs. the summer!

When it comes to winter though, I can honestly say that I haven't been in a vehicle that can begin to compare to my STi in the snow... Unless the snow was so packed that it would lift the front end off the ground, that thing was absolutely unstoppable. I'd plow right through snow stacked as high as my hood, provided it wasn't packed/heavy.

On the weekend, during the nights where we'd see several inches of snow, I'd literally wake up at 5:00-5:30 AM to go out and "rally" before anyone else was out on the road. I could carry sustained drifts across 3-4 lanes and hold the thing sideways while driving down the road. I can't wait to own another one for the winter!
