i wouldn’t buy a used automatic in cold weather. they really don’t stand the cold like a stick does and tend to wear out faster, however subarus in general stand up to the cold well…
On the Subaru forums, there are quite a few people who use their cars daily in pretty hard winters in Alaska. It really depends on just how cold you are talking but if you use the proper fluids and viscosity, there shouldn’t be any problems. They are such reliable cars that I don’t see them giving you any problems that other cars won’t. And an automatic WRX does have a more complex AWD system than the manuals and they are about the best on the market. I would go for it as long as the car has been maintained properly.
