I think the best option is just to get a set of winters with wheels for your EP3, if your car isn't slammed the weather we get here won't be too bad with winters. Don't forget that AWD doesn't mean you will stop any better if you don't have winters.
^This.

For some reason a lot of people believe that if you have AWD, you're good to go for anything, anywhere. This is not true. Obviously AWD handles the best in the snow, but that doesn't mean you don't need snow tires. Hell, my friend has a damn Evo and still needs snows.

Unless you really wanna change cars, just spend your money on some snow tires and drive safe. I've seen Tercels and Echos pull through just fine with snow tires.
