You didn't mention budget...

Based on your handling over power comment, I'd lean toward a WRX or a Evo.

Personally, I'd be tempted to pick up a used 03 Evo and just drive the f'er. If you want it to perform in the snow, you can't do much to the suspension, but it is pretty good stock. Stiff suspension <> good in snow.

Off the showroom floor, the Evo handles better, has brakes that will hold up to a traack day with some good pads, and fluid and

I like the quicker rack in the Evo as well.
