I found the wrx pretty dodgy to drive in the wet. First it will understeer, then rapid oversteer as it comes on boost..Its tricky to manage because the torque can double in 1000rpms..To keep it in better control, would have to keep revs above about 4500 all the time so the power delivery and response is more linear...

dont know about the sti with DCCD, havent pushed it that much...

Personally, I think a high torque engine, with a wide, lowish torque band, in an awd would be the go. An AWD with about 500Nm from 1800 to 4500rpms would be great..
