I've legit only heard of The Smoking Tire of those 3. If I wasn't trying to scale back my YouTube consumption, I'd give them a try.
60k CAD right? Wow, you guys were being asked to pay $7k US more than what US dealers were marking the thing up by already, which was $10k US over MSRP on it's own. Hot damn.
I'd get an ST but as it's lighter than my '11 Fusion and FWD like it as well, I'd probably have traction issues in the winter, which are something I already have in my Fusion in deeper snowfalls. Though I suppose with either one I'd have to buy proper winter tires.
Also, have an amazing weird video made by a YouTuber I used to watch who is a big Doug DeMuro fan:
