The torque and handling of this car is quite good. The AWD is excellent for improved handling in the warm months and is amazing in the winter. It should be noted that this car doesn't handle as well as the non-turbo subarus in the winter due to it's increased torque. All around great car would recommend, especially for areas that receive snow.Oct 21, 2013
