A Subaru would be very simple. Swap the AWD transmission with a FWD one (pre-1994, cheap, and would fit nearly any Subaru after 1990 that you'd want to use) and attach the motor to the rear diff. The cars are made so monkeys can work on them and the suspensions are built like tanks, too. Of course, that also comes with a bit of a weight penalty, but a first generation Impreza or, even a Legacy, is reasonable. Any suspension upgrade necessary to compensate for the extra weight of batteries is also easily done and available.
