as far a AWD vs FWD:with AWD you can drive too fast in the snow. It is harder to know when your driving too fast, as by the time you start slipping a little, your a slight twitch of the steering wheel away from a 360 (possibly into a tree). With AWD it's easier to control the slide so you miss the tree, but it's harder to regain full control. Stopping in the snow is similar with both, but engine breaking it not. Steering in the snow is a little better with an AWD if you know what your doing, you don't get the back end slipping as much.
But still, go with the civic or something similar (FWD, small, and Japanese), they are fine in the snow with good tires, and get better mileage.
