Default Best AWD / 4WD Car?

Swapped the 330s last year for an Exige S (240) but only take her out on good days so have a WRX as my daily drive which I'm thinking of changing. Thought about a Hawkeye Sti and even a 320r since the suspension issues are sorted but not sure. The wife is keen that I have an AWD / 4WD because of the area we live in and to be fair we have been snowed in nearly three years on the trot! What would anyone else recommend including a Hawk or 320r?

Cheers

Sti spec c (hawkeye) or JDM hatch or saloon if you can find one. The JDM hatch spec c was put up against an ENZO S3 Mountune RS Focus and beath the hatchs only to be beaten by the hyper car.

If you want refinement I would suggest a Hatch as there a lot more subtle then the hawk and handle better great!

I like subtle

So many people (clients) complain about the 'racerboy' probably why I have never been made a partner and remain an Associate but it's more fun!

Poo workman always blames his tools!

No I understand where your coming from especially if your coming from a profesional backround. I would go for either a hatch or the new saloon ,but try and avoud the UK cars with the 2.5 engines as there prone to engine failure.

I find it's a wing thing.

I had the 330s for about 18 months and loved everything except the cheap, thin paint which came off in chunks rather than chips.
