Simple, what car would be the most practical, and the most fun, to use during the long, dark, cold winter months?

Most would probably say WRX STi, but I think a Leggy RS would be better for snow hoonage.

Second place would probably go to the Nissan Stagea Autech 260RS. AWD, wagon, twin turbo I6, wagon. The perfect formula.

WRX is the obvious choice but I was going to suggest the Focus RS. That AWD system plus I think 350hp in the snow would be a ball of fun

It won’t get stuck and having 2wd you can do sick drifts and you can switch to 4wd when you do get stuck

Budget? Normaly I would recommend something disposable. Its gonna fall apart after a few winters. Plus the danger of other running into you.

It’s really a hypothetical question, so no budget.

I’m amazed how much I’ve posted this pic, but it fits.

I don’t think I want the new one as much as I want one of these.

I just want an XC90 T8 anyway, but it would be good in winter.

In the real world, though, there’s nowhere a Panda 4x4 won’t get that you’d actually want to go.

Any RWD sports car with winter tires. You can keep AWD.

The only problem with full size trucks is when you do get them stuck it is way more harder to get them unstuck. I can dig my subaru out of a snow bank in 10 minutes. If I punched a snow bank with a chevy 2500 I would have to call a tow truck or a Ford Raptor.

A 6.4 Hemi Power Wagon. Subarus a great in snow, but lack the ground clearance needed in deep snow. Also its a fucking power wagon, it gives you chest hair and fine whiskey. Maybe a fine cigar too.

Been pretty happy in Kansas winter snow and ice with my MS6. Behaves when needed, hoons when needed. Haven’t been stuck yet.
