was too much for the STi even with winters on.  i'd only assume this is because the snow was high/mounds enough to actually get under the car and rub against it way too much? otherwise, fail. :P never had an issue with my '08 sti on blizzaks in past worse winters.  Offtopic: how would you compare your 08 sti to your itr? I have a friend who is considering jumping from his itr into an sti of similar vintage (around 08).
i went the other way around  - had my reasons. 08 sti like euph said is 'softer' than the R, but it's not luxo by any means, yet not as harsh as an evo. comfier yes, roomy+trunk, awd was great, thing handled amazing...almost to the point it stuck to the road so much (road and track for me even) it got boring. cost of maintenance also quite a jump even with discounts i found. winter days like today were awesome to just blast by everyone but those days are limited. you could put more rear bias with the centre diff control and on snowy or cold asphalt days, have the back end kick out just enough to enjoy it more.
faults, gas mileage is nasty (especially for my drive cycle) and it really wanted 94oct, esp on humid summer days. the top mount intercooler sucks balls. shell 91 wouldnt even cut it, would just auto-retard and lean the hell out at higher RPM's. the stock tune suuucks and it's suggested you get at least a basic stage 1 tune done, even without any other mods. the exh note is nice, but i found it annoying after awhile.
the R - well, all around great/fun car. with the recaros it's comfy (except entry/exit LOL), stiffer and handling is SPOT fucking on given my setup. it sticks almost as well as the sti, but given the balance and weight of the chassis...the back end comes out just as easy even tho it's fwd  it has the roominess too given the "trunk". car is much better on gas and is fine on 91. have to worry about theft i guess, but just be safe enough...in a way given it's older i dont "worry" about the the body as much as i need to lol. yeah less trq but nothing you can't still DD...annoying somtimes, but car never ceases to put a smile on your face.  - i mean 9k all day long, DD, track/etc...what else can you ask for. shifts are butter...sti shifter was garbaaaagggee.

The snow drifts were actually up to the hood of the car in some spots of my street (Hamilton) so no, the winters did not help.

But the unplowed street was too much for the STi even with winters on please shred your license and punch yourself in the balls(which you left downstairs in a box).
See reply above. STis are not God's chariot.

mine was not slammed but close enough (had 1 finger gap).
I didn't get stuck last winter but the STi would totally stuck in the snow this morning. The snow was literally higher than the front bumper (non-plowed street)

I have to get the snow out of my wheels today at some point I had a nice vibration massage all the way into work lol.
And my car shook because of the snow in the wheels.

I'll get you deets.
It's like a 97 with jdm front end (zenki front), spoon spoiler with gurney flap, cusco coilovers, 5zigen fn01rc, original 15s, japanese interior (recaros + jdm wheel). The entire interior is non-original--it came from a jdm car. dc header, aem cai. spoon replica front lip (fiberglass iirc)
I forget how much mileage it has, i'll ask. it's probably a high mileage car though.
