Well, whatever you decided upon, get a couple of 50 lb bags of concrete and throw them into your trunk for the winter. Big difference with traction on a snowy road, even with a small car.

Any four cylinder front wheel drive should do. If you're looking for something small try a Subaru Impreza, a Chevy Cobalt, I'm not sure about the Ford line. Most volkswagens are decent.
I prefer big and safe! I drive a 92 Buick Park Ave in the winter, it's a tank and gets through anything. I was rear-ended by a VW on New Year's Eve -- they slid into me. They crunched their bumper, I didn't get so much as a scratch. I laughed, wished them a happy and left. I thought the kid's mother was going to flip. If they hit my 68 convertible, they would have been dead but then again, I wouldn't take that out in the winter!

Toyota Yaris, good on fuel, handles well in snow, a breeze to park and handle. I put snow tires on mine in the winter to give me the extra safety on the road.
