Do you have a car GOOD IN SNOW/HIGH WINDS?

Current 2nd car is a reliable workhorse (dh 'gifted' me his Mondeo) but is rubbish in snow, even with grip tyres, and is easily buffeted in high winds. Last winter when it snowed it didn't make hills that other cars were doing comfortably & it's a nervy drive in icy conditions. On the positive side I do know how to correct a skid!

We're looking to replace it with a 2nd hand car that takes 3 children. We've looked at:

Volvo V70 estate
Volkswagon Touran estate
Peugeot 307 estate
Ford Galaxy
Honda FRV
Renault Grand Scenic Estate

Are any of these good or should we be considering something else? Budget-wise going to be about 10k.

lunar - it's a small world. i'm sure he's elsewhere too but I just happen to have remembered that one from when he was setting it up.
