The Focus would be my first choice for that type of car. Get the manual gearbox if you can.

My brother drove a 2001 for 120,000 miles with nary an issue, just the consumables. he just bought a 2010 to replace it.

I drove the Pontiac Vibes(aka Matrix) for a few years as company vehicles. The newer ones may be better but I didn't think it was all that good in the snow/slush even with new tires installed.
