That's an odd list of cars from a fuel economy and winter driving perspective. I strongly recommend FWD, as that powertrain is lighter, more compact, and better on gas. A FWD with four snow (not all-season) tires is a good choice for winter. All cars are 0WD during braking, so an AWD car can get you in to trouble, but it can't get you out.
Certain Civics are favorites here at EM. They're thrifty and reliable cars. My vote would be for an old Civic hatchback with a stick, or a Civic HX if you can find one. However, if the previous owner attempted any "performance" modifications to the Civic, steer clear of it.
Also, how about a VW diesel, or a small Toyota, Mazda 323, Ford Escort, or Saturn S-series?
