Default Best Winter DD under $5k

Looking for some suggestions that aren't "Get a Jeep, man!" My current beater might not make it through the winter, so I wanted to get some ideas on mind for it's replacement. Looking for something preferably AWD and not an SUV/Truck/Etc. Don't need to link any classifieds, just some general ideas that you think might be in my range.
