I would choose anything Japanese with a top tier winter tires...

If 4WD is mandatory I'd take an Impreza over a Forester, unless the ground clearance becomes an issue. The non-WRC models get better economy that the Forester.
If you want comfort get a Legacy.

But no matter what get good quality winter tires. I was cynical about winter tires and regretted being forced to use them, but then I was astonished to find how much more grip they offer.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
