Hmm, that could work!

The thought has crossed my mind. My goal in trading up from the OBW is to have more of a driver's car and I am not sure the Forester XT fills the bill. Power is great, but handling is also important to me. Past cars include a Carrera 4S and a super charged Z28. I am partial to manuals, also. I should know this, but is the XT available with a stick?

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. The lower clearance will make it difficult to get down the street while waiting for the plows to show up. The OBW is a great car, as far as reliability and slick road capability goes. I see quite a few WRX's in town and was hoping they could cope, but I have to get to work in the winter, so I will have to forego the more exciting car, it seems.

Brand new to the USMB forum. I have a 2009 outback. While at the Carson City dealer for a 60k major tune up last week, I was admiring a WRX. Since I live in the Lake Tahoe area, I occasionally have to deal with maybe 12" of new snow to get down my street to where it has been plowed. The Outback does pretty good now that I have studded snows for it. If I traded it for a WRX will I have trouble with the snow?
