Two points:
My mom and dad both drove SUV's for the longest time (we've had an Expedition, Explorer, and an Aviator that I can remember). A while ago, they both decided to get cars because of the fuel efficiency. It didn't last long. Neither one of them liked being so low to the ground, or the way they handled in the snow as compared to what they were used to. My mom traded back up to a Sienna, and my dad to a Rav4.
When my bf was car shopping this past summer, he test-drove the Fusion. Like you, one of his main concerns was how it handled in the snow (he goes back and forth from central PA and NE Ohio). I don't think he was too impressed by the ride to begin with, but he ultimately nixed it because the salesman couldn't give him a straight answer about how it would be in the snow. He ended up with a Corolla that he LOVES, even despite the recalls.
It's the dang snow that makes shopping for a new vehicle so hard.
