yeah, that was pretty much my thinking...at first I thought "oh, the 370 won't be so bad at all with some winter tires, and it's only like 3 months of snow anyway" but now after seeing how long the winter was here this year (it snowed significantly last week and we're in April!) and how many big dumps we got this season (one week we got about 90cm in abolut 48 hours) I figured the STI would be much more practical...and the widebody STI's are still beautiful cars

Yep, even being as careful as I can, with sand bags in the trunk, with winter tires, it makes no difference, you are still going to lose the rear end every once in a while on ice/snow. Luckily the times it happened to me, I never once hit anything besides a snow drift!
