The "Toyobaru" (Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S) is a joint project between Toyota and Subaru. Everything is the same on the different versions except the badges and a bit of interior finishing.

My best car was a 1993 Toyota pickup. Though it was rear wheel drive you could get traction by putting some weight in the back, and it had a beautiful utilitarian design. I got a great deal on it, but it was a terrible choice. I should have gotten a regular 4 door vehicle since I never used it for anything except driving in town. Still the fuel efficiency was decent, and it had a hitch.

Well I do like the Yamaha Kodiak, and the Stutz Bearcat, but not for everyday.....did not know about the Skoda.....but now I must look into it
4 wheel drive will be good but it will still need a gentle foot in the snow
Our FPace is AWD when needed, i.e, when the front is struggling for grip the it sends up to 50% of the power to the front. Benefits of rear wheel drive with safety if 4wd.
I got it...get a restored Toyota FJ 55
But I have to say, if winter is a concern, the best 3 vehicles I had for heavy winter were an old GMC 2500 4x4, Nissan Xtera and an old Jeep Cherokee sport 2 door
Range rover sport???

There is a lot of it about, for example the Aygo is the same car as the Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107

Or a really good all wheel drive system. Sidenote, in the states we say all wheel drive rather than four wheel drive. Long before modern all wheel drive was developed we had four wheel drive here. It was mostly for off road use since all four wheels were being supplied with power. Where a modern all wheel drive vehicle tends to send power to different wheels depending on need. Four wheel drive was great for mud, but was a bit balky on clean dry pavement.
Four-Wheel Drive Vs All-Wheel Drive: Which is Best?
At any rate I am currently driving an older Volvo with all wheel drive. It is no fun in the snow. It drives excellently. It does not skid, the antilock braking system keeps it straight and true. And it goes through snow with no problem at all. The problem is that it is no fun. You cannot put it into a power slide, and doughnuts are out of the question.
I grew up in cold and snowy Minnesota in the country. Finding an empty parking lot and literally going for a spin was a good learning experience.
Oh, I know. I just think it's funny that their rankings are so different. Really, they should be tied.

That left out the grand finale. They put it on top of a skyscraper that was about to undergo demolition.

No its a Toyota FJ55.... Range Rovers use to be very high maintenance vehicles so I tend to avoid them
