Looking at Volvo S40's, a few older Subbies, and some old Dodge trucks. The Mazda just caught my eye. A bulletproof engine and working heater is all that's required haha. 150k miles on a known solid engine don't scare me.
I looked at them awhile back as a beater too. Around here they all had quarter panel rust, rust on the trunks, and underbody. Not all are like that but very common for that generation, just something to look for.

I'd go with a Subaru as a winter beater between the ones listed. I had a Camry v6 few years back, threw some winter tires on it and it was a tank haha
