Some background info: I travel about 200km/day often on deserted roads in northern Canada, if my car is unsafe or it breaks down I will literally be stranded without a gas-station or hotel near by.
Currently driving a 535xi but I'm putting wayyyy too many KMs on it... thinking of trading in the 5 series for an RS5 garage queen, and picking up a reliable winter car to take to these god forsaken places.
I was looking at the Subaru Legacy from the US for about 16k and I will import it etc, out the door w/ new winter tires should cost me about 20k. I was looking to spend a bit less however.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Jetta/Golf TDi you don't need FWD. AWD is a bonus but not a necessity. Good gas mileage+amazing resale since you will put on a lot km. I have a GTI it does amazing in the snow. Put on 4 good tires and you're good to go.
