I think a front wheel drive car would suffice for snow. We all own honda civic's and have little trouble with driving in snow. Plus they have a lot of room for wood and such if need be.

Why not the subi? Doesn't have to be the sti, you could get the regular wrx which is no slouch, 4wd and much cheaper. Unless ride height is an issue, I'd consider the WRX wagon if it's in the budget.

Agreed, friend's tC was more than enough for carpooling on snowy days to work.
