I'm contemplating getting a daily/winter beater. My M3 has been my dd for past 2 years but now that I will soon be transporting my daughter to school every morning, I will need a car with better utility. E90 M3 is an option but given that my e92 is in excellent condition with low miles, it would be hard to justify letting it go.

The criteria for this dd/winter beater are:
- awd
- 4 doors
- around $25k
- reliable
- Apple carplay would be nice
- Commute: 5 mile each way, back roads, moderate traffic

The cars that I came up with so far
- Toyota Rav4
- Toyota Prius awd-e
- Mazda 3 awd
- Subaru Forrester
- Hyundai Kona limited

I'm strangely attracted to Prius although I don't care much about fuel economy. It would surely make M3 drives even more exciting.

Appreciate your opinions
