I once drove a '95 Caprice ex-MSP cruiser with bald tires and no weight in the back for a winter . Those TDI Golfs are pretty nice cars. You'll be getting 40mpg+ and it will be great in the snow. Either way, get some winter tires, they help immensely no matter if your car is FWD, RWD, or AWD.

Sounds like fun! RWD and no snow tires are all that was available my first few years of driving! Other than the Toronado there were no front drivers. We got very used to waiting a long time at lights because normally there could only be one car getting through. Fortunately, there were only half as many cars on the road in those days!

You can find TONS of roads up north that are never even plowed.

I noticed that when I was up there last month, signs are posted on the back country roads that they are not plowed during winter and to use them at your own risk. I can imagine how bad they get because much of the UP averages 150" or more snow each winter. We average like 45" down here.

My mom has told me stories of driving her '69 Mach 1 in the snow. "How did you take off?" "Veeeery slow."

LOL! By today's standards it was absolutely ridiculous.

Hers was a 428CJ 4 speed too lol. She kicks her self in the ass any time she sees one on Barrett Jackson. I have to remind her that nobody back then knew those cars would be worth so much today.
