I would also go Mazda, either 3 or CX-30. AWD is standard on all the CX models now and optional on the 3. If it's primarily just gonna be a winter beater, I wouldn't pay a premium for an enthusiast car like a Golf R, and wouldn't recommend an electric due to cold weather generally reducing its range noticeably.
