Which car to buy: 2014 Mazda CX-5 s Grand Touring or Mazda3 s Grand Touring?

I'm really stuck between these two options, as I'd be getting the CX-5 AWD, which isn't available to substitute for the Mazda3's FWD. I'm moving up to North Carolina, so I prefer a car that is well suited for snow and mountains that still maintains a somewhat sporty feel. I know the AWD will do more than hold its own, but I'm not sure how a FWD would do up there. I've lived in South Florida all of my life, so I really don't know if the FWD will manage well. I could really use some advice.

    The CX-5.

    It still has that sporty driving properties that's better than other SUVs thanks to it's SkyActiv technology. The FWD Mazda 3 can handle the winter weather as well although the AWD CX-5 will be slightly better in the snow. I chose the CX-5 because it has more interior space and it's higher above the ground. Any FWD and AWD vehicle is good on snow as long as it has decent winter tires. Winter tires are moe important than the vehicle's layout
