Great car! I had one a couple of years ago and really liked it but sold it because I needed a bigger vehicle. BTW, I have a mechnical boost controller for it somewhere. If you want it let me know.

They are really nice cars just make sure if your modding them you do the right mods. If you decide to get a bov make sure it is one that will vent back into the car and not all into the atmosphere.

On the stock tires?
That AWD will be helpful but don't expect any miracles on those 'near slicks' that the car comes with.
And if you have to put snow tires on it anyway you could've bought just about any car and have it do well in snow on four fresh snow tires.

My wife has owned 3 Subaru Outbacks w/stock tires and never had a problem.
