I have BFG g-force super sport A/S on my STi and also on my wifes 2.5i impreza, we both love them. They are great in the snow and do very well on dry, there is a little tire noise but nothing to be concerned with. I got my wifes for 350ish of tire rack a month or two back should be the same size as your car.

I've been using the Futura All Seasons from Pepboys on my subaru for a little while now. Kinda noisey, but not too bad. Work really well in snow though.

I have Kuhmo Ecsta LX Platinums on my car and they are great. They suck in the snow, but on wet and dry pavement they grip very well. They're about $74 a piece though.

I recommend the BFG g-Force SS A/S to everyone I know. They are a high performance all season and they do great in the snow and also when its dry.

I had 'em on my 2.5 RS and now on my WRX. Awesome tires.

Continental ContiSport Contact I think they're called... not sure how 'cheap' they are but they were the clear winner for value/quality when I looked into it a while ago.
