Subaru WRX
While many sports cars require compromises in all-weather versatility, the Subaru WRX laughs in the face of winter and proves more practical than a coupe. Its turbocharged 2.4-litre engine delivers 271 horsepower to all four wheels and can be paired with a manual transmission in most trims. This includes the top-of-the-line tS, which stands out with its adaptive dampers, larger brakes and digital instrument cluster. All that's missing is a WRX STI.
