It would have to be absurdly cheap since the 90 mile roundtrip commute 4 days a week would kill me lol.
Hence my looking for a 4cyl.

nice wrx on ls1tech for around 5 grand looks good to. check it out

Only for the retarded. I will never own another FWD again because I hate how they drive in the snow/bad weather. You lose traction at all and now you can't steer. Snow tires are the key to going in the snow, not which wheels drive the car. AWD/4WD just helps negate the need for snow tires to an extent

That is why my cobalt has Blizzaks on ALL 4 wheels. That car is awesome in the snow.

I like FWD in the snow. But yes nothing beats AWD with snow tires

AWD only helps you get moving, it wont help you turn or stop. To improve all three you need good winter tires. If I had to pick FWD or RWD in the snow I'd pick FWD, just because understeer is not as dangerous as oversteer. But I'd take any vehicle with winter tires over any vehicle with all season tires in the snow.

fwd sucks in the snow all its good for is ebrake slides haha

Guy on the boat has an '02 WRX with an STI swap I'll get the info if you want.
