Regarding snow tires and rear-wheel drive:

"We blew $700 on a set of Michelin winter tires that, in conjunction with the electronic stability control, worked so well that we occasionally wondered why anyone feels the need for all-wheel drive. But mostly, we shut off the electronic nannies and drove the BRZ through the snow as it was made to be driven—cocked sideways, spitting huge roostertails of snow and sand. Sure, it’s adolescent behavior, but it’s also damn fun. To say we’ve rekindled our love for the Subaru is an understatement. Few cars can make a middle-aged man feel like a kid, and the ones that do should be cherished."
