It doesn't snow a lot here, but when it does things can get messy. And I've driven a lot in northern New England (snowboarder) and in Michigan and Wisconsin in winter, so I have practice in snow. I've never felt in the least uncomfortable in my ALH Wagon with snows on it. My son lives in Madison WI and has a lifted MKIV Golf with Firestone Winterforce tires, and he says it's unstoppable. And having owned an Audi Quattro, I think once you get rolling the difference betwen AWD and FWD isn't that great. As others have said, tires make the difference.
I'd see what you can get for your GSW. The car really isn't rare with all the buybacks out there, and you may find you're not willing to take the value hit a trade would require. The manual transmission makes it more valuable, however. And keep in mind that this is the last year for the GSW in North America, so if you want a new one the window is closing.
