Subaru Impreza

Whether you opt for the sedan or the hatchback, the Subaru Impreza is a winter driving master. Its symmetrical all-wheel drive system is one of the best in the biz, while the low centre of gravity (credit the flat-4 engine) further enhances handling. True, a poorly maintained Subaru can financially ruin its owner, but products from this brand typically boast incredible durability. All you have to do is find a model with as little rust as possible.
