I love driving my Subaru WRX in the snow. Actually, that's a big reason why I bought it. Yes, I know this is a Contour forum - my wife drives a '99 Contour Sport, which I used to drive before the Suby. There's nothing like a 3200 lb, 260 hp (slightly modded), AWD, manual sedan drifting through a turn in 3 inches of Wisconsin powder.
