Planning if i do to trade both. the wrx hatchback has the practicality of space and AWD, and the fun factor still there..

its between an 4runner vs a sti. and i really need a fun car, but more practical. The frs is fun, but not practical. It is what it is, just a toy...

the 4 runner is boring, and we already have another SUV, and i need to downsize the fleet....

It sounds like like the WRX checks all the boxes for you. It does very well in the snow (mine has winter tires on it too). Straight-line speed is very fast in this car. I have not pushed it too hard yet, but when I have it really moves. Even just passing people on the freeway is fun
