How 'bout an old Subaru with AWD? Those ugly wagons from the 80s?
I'll have to second this. My mom's Subaru Forester (yeah, a bit newer but...) can tread lightly over any snow conditions. She said one time she went up a steep hill in a big snowstorm to pick up my sister and thought nothing of it, then when she went down it again she saw a 4x4 SUV weaving all over the road trying to get up. That AWD system works, and Subarus appear to last forever. Only problem she's had was with the alarm system in the 2 years we've owned it.
Only problem is price, even early 90s models, since they depreciate slowly (but then again that's a good thing!)
