Do not switch from AWD if you have the choice. It is night and day and not only more fun to drive in the winter but far safer.
We have high end winter tires on both vehicles but even with all-seasons the subaru is light years better.
I just don't see why you would switch? If it's a money thing, just get an older subaru.

Gas, repairs, lifestyle choice.
Nothing wrong with FWD and a good set of winters. Owning a WRX is a bit of an unfair comparison because it's pricey rally vehicle knowing for not just its AWD, but also handling, torque, etc.
If you're a good driver and read the conditions of the road well, you'll be fine with an FWD.
