I don't know re: your question about 200k honestly. Go to westernsubaruclub.com and see if you can find a thread about high mileage subies.

I owned a regular impreza as well before the wrx and it handled just as well.

I don't think repairs are more expensive unless the AWD system breaks down I guess. But Subaru's AWD system is remarkably simple and I haven't even heard of one having issues with that.

Fair enough re: gas and having to pay more up front.

Not sure what lifestyle choice Ozy is referring to. Worse for environment because uses more gas?

Anyways if you do end up with FWD just get really good winter tires as Ozy said and you'll be fine.

I would never get a RWD vehicle for our climate on the other hand. RWD trucks in particular are horrible in snow and ice unless they have 4x4.
