I miss my shitty NB for the winter. It had a lsd and decent snow tires. Other than super deep snow, that setup was perfect.
Pros: perfect setup
Cons: super deep snow
Vehicle:
Mazda
Seriously though, if you can't get snow tires, put some weight in the truck. Weight in truck+snow tires makes the Miata a surprisingly nimble snowmobile.
Pros: nimble snowmobile
Vehicle:
Mazda
Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.
Pros: this thing is a beast

Mazda
I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.
Pros: good rubber, handles winter
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
1200 USD on 4 tires, 2 rear wheel bearings, 2 tie rod ends, and an alignment.

Those stock tires will give you grief, they give your steering a little annoying dance the closer you hit 170kmph/100mph. Work through those tires. Swapping to something else will almost completely get rid of the wobble.
Cons: steering annoying dance, wobble
Vehicle:
Honda
I've noticed that tires go fairly quick on my Mazda3
Cons: wear quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!
Cons: very expensive
Vehicle:
Mazda
