I could enjoy the FWD but I want a powerful AWD for traveling purposes (camping and such). Yea it'll be used for "motorsport" but it'll be going into the forest with me. Lol Plus... in Rainy conditions it'll work better here. lol

The impreza also weighs about.. 80lbs/38ish kg less than the spd3.

Insurance should be both relatively the same.
If it's for camping so forest stuff then I would recommend keep it in NA (3 or Impreza). It's cheaper & better mpg. Not worth having that snail under the hood.

Biggest con of AWD is the tires. One for all, all for me. If one blow, gotta replace other 3 too. Also extra parts to maintain than FWD (like CV axle, rear diff, hub bearings, & so con).
