I've recently (July) bought an STi hatch and was wondering about winter driving.

I've concluded that winter tyres are the way forward, summer tyres plus DCCD, SI drive LSDs will give good traction but braking / stopping will be the problem.

You should have no problems whatsoever with any AWD system. Just think of us poor sods with RWD
