Buying a small car for hilly and snowy terrain?

My wife needs a car for hilly and sometimes wintry conditions as she is a health visitor. She's driving a Toyota Auris at the moment, but she's finding it too difficult to manoeuvre and terrible in snow. Could you recommend a smaller reliable car that would be more suitable for her?
