I'm looking to sell my 2008 Audi A4 (125,000 miles and the check engine light is on- thinking it could be a diverter valve issue) for something more reliable / less likely to break on me. I need something with AWD or is reliable in snow (I work for the state traveling to different health centers and rehab centers to visit patients as well as going to clinical 4x a week for school where we don't have snow days, so we're expected to show up whenever and wherever). I'm looking into a used Subaru WRX, but I have virtually no experience driving a manual car as a daily driver. I took one on-road manual driving lesson a couple of years ago and I thought it wasn't too bad actually. I've also thought of the Subaru Legacy (reliable, relatively cheap), Mazda, and Toyota.

What would you guys recommend for a reliable, relatively cheap car that's preferably good in the snow that won't ruin my wallet with the price and/or mileage?
