Got to be a wrx, if driven sensible to the mpg shouldn't be that much different.

I live right out in the country and never had an issue with the snow or icy in the Subaru. Up hills onroads and off road. I brought a set of winter wheels, haven't lowered the car. It's a dream. Not going to say its as good as a defender or discovery, but for a car, it does the job, the awd system copes well with loss of traction

All turbo Impreza's have a rear LSD, so both rear wheels will drive. And with suitable tyres its amazing where they will go.
