As my handle says, I am a mailman. I have a 85 mile rural route in Illinois, grew up in Nebraska where we got more snow (and ICE).
Stay away from the AWD. I had a Ford Aerostar AWD that worked OK for the snow when I had a route near Denver, CO for a while. But it was TERRIBLE on ice, anything over 20 MPH you basically had no control.
I have a RHD Jeep Cherokee I bought in April 2009, it is a 1994. Not my first Jeep, my oldest is a 1949 Pickup. But, will tell you their "part time" 4wd is not much better than the AWD. I run mine either in 4H or in 2H.
My wife used to have a KIA Sportage. High maintanance car, was good in snow but lots of front axle issues if 4wd used much.
My farm pickup is a 2001 Chevy 2500 4x4. Push button 4x4. The "automatic" 4x4 doesn't always read the road conditions quite right.
My opinion is to get a true 4x4. If I was to get one just for a daily driver, not pulling any heavy loads, probably a Toyota Tacoma or Rav4. The Rav4 is the next car my wife wants when I retire her Chevy HHR to my mail route. DOUG

My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
