I have to agree with the Subie comment. I swore by my VX and TOD but when I got my WReX, I found myself confused. For a sporty little bugger, the Subie can handle rougher conditions with an amount of ease. Top that with speed and performance and it becomes quite the cross trainer. Though, I wouldn't pick one over the other since they are both fun for whatever the occasion calls for.
I at least now find myself in possession of a DD that I can drive in light snow conditions (since it's lowered) and a vehicle with higher clearance for deeper snow. And in perfect conditions, simply 2 extremely fun vehicles.
