Love my Subaru STI.
WRX on Steroids.

Better winter traction than my old Grand Cherokee.
Faster around corners than most cars.

EVO X is better but they don’t make a hatchback.

Oh, yeah. Had a '06 WRX that I cherished through 135,000 miles. Two weeks ago I finally ran out of luck and smacked a deer on a country road. The car kept me safe but it was totaled. So I just bought a '14. World rally blue. God, it's gorgeous.

Quick, too. Not fond of the tires - Dunlops, I'll replace them at first opportunity. But the reason this car gets so many tickets is the same reason the insurance is so high - it's reasonably priced enough to be bought by kids who have no business in it. It is VERY quick, it is NOT forgiving, and the symmetrical AWD makes you think you're safe as houses when you're really chasing the edge. But I do love the car. ;-)
