-2004 Outback H6 VDC Wagon - gangster McIntosh sound system, dual moonroofs, very smooth H6 engine, much better on gas than your rotary, and it's dirt cheap used
-I'd cross off the Liberty completely if I were you; utterly garbage.. GMC Envoys and Chevy Trailblazers are good alternatives.. Our company has a fleet of them, and they've been super reliable (all are beaten, and have over 180,000kms)..
Brute_4s: I'm pretty sure the roads in Kelowna are worst than North Van.. I drive a FWD Mazda with Michelin X-Ice2's all around, and I did well the entire season

So long as you aren't being stupid, there's nothing dangerous about it. Don't gun it and take turns nice and easy.
Think about it this way: For decades, the majority of vehicles out there were purely RWD. What did people do when it snowed? They drove their RWD car.

For decades people drove without seatbelts, Do i ever do it? no...
Not shunning RWD in snow though, LSD + snow tires is great  | |

Why do you need a SUV?
Just get a sporty awd car... quattro audi is a suggestion... buddy of mine has gone through 3 (upgraded) they kick ass.

^no point for Op to get such a big car with such poor gas mileage, although the latter he probably got used to in his RX8  (but i shouldn't be the one talking...)

Well, so many ppl suggest me to choose subaru.Even if i buy a subaru, i would only go for STI or LEGACY. STI is out of my budget and most LEGACY is wagon model. I dont really like the outlook of outback...

I dont really like the outlook of outback... | Find a used Legacy 2.5GT sedan. Given your budget, you should be able to afford one. Its somewhere around $15k.
