I've owned 4 subaru's in my life. I had an '87 RX coupe that was way underpowered, but was still very good to drive in the winter. I had an '04 2.5RS that was super fun. It was my first "real" car and I found the potenza OEM tires to do a decent job. I then upgraded to an '07 Legacy Spec B. I modded this car with an exhaust + Cobb AP and was as fast as an STi without the harsher ride. I had winter skins for this and they make an incredible difference. Due to circumstances etc I eventually traded it straight across for a new 2011 Forester XT with roof rack, bick rack, and remote car starter. It doesnt have winters on it, and the OEM's suck. My wife has a 2.5 hatchback and loves that little car. Easy to drive, great handling, and perfect for the city.
In Calgary in particular, you cant find a more well suited car.
