But (coming from a guy who lives on the Canadian prairies) it really all comes down to your tires. Get the best winter tires you can possibly afford. They make all the difference in the world. Don't use 'all-seasons' - they aren't.
That said, for the past couple of winters I've been driving a 2008 Lincoln MKZ with AWD. Beats the 944 hands down for winter handling.

I agree I too have a steep driveway, getting up it would be impossible. Getting down it would be easy but really scary! I use "hill decent" in my BMW or my wife's Range Rover to get down - wonderful invention. In my old Land Rover I did a number of accidental 180's going down it!
