I think those are main 3 things are important (well to me anyways). Yeah, some places don't need snow tires. Maybe all season will do, but some places snow few dozen time a month, then snow tires are something to consider. Also driving skill become important too. Throttle & steering control become more hectic and learn to control em smoothly.
example, my friend own S2k (ap1) and he doesn't like to drive his S2k in the winter. Specially when it snows. He said that wheels just spin and it doesn't go anywhere... so he have beater civic, he drive in the winter.
While my other friend that own G35 (sedan) has 3 different tires (Summer, all season & snow) don't have any problem driving anywhere. She said that wheel spin here and there, but nothing major spin out.
I'm pretty sure there's pro & con on FR car in snow/winter, but my opinion, if your area snow more than 5" or more and wanna be safe, then awd is something to think bout. I'm keepin' mine RS for winter and FT for summer.

Thanks. I am definitely going to buy winter tires if I purchase the Toyota. Regarding the snow, we usually get a fair amount of snow here. Probably around 5 inches, give or take a few but I can't say for every location around Toronto but the roads are usually plowed fairly quickly.
Dam choosing either a subie or toyota will be a hard decision for me
