Here in Canada, the Subaru WRX remains a no-brainer when it comes to performance, especially during winter driving. Remember, the WRX is the only car on this list to be offered with all-wheel-drive as standard, which makes it a lot more livable for everyday driving. Under its hood sits a 2.0-litre turbocharged Boxer flat-four, and output is rated at 268 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard, with a CVT automatic being optional. This all-season compact sports sedan will complete the 0-100 km/h time in 5.0 seconds flat.
