Altimax - best bang per stupid buck. They get rave reviews from people who never had winter tires before and bought the cheapest option. There are much better options for the money.
I'd recommend either Michelin Xi3 or Conti EWC for this car. And I wholeheartedly disagree with "zero fun". Driving on Xi3 last winter was the most fun I've had in this car. I see, however, how "grip junkies" could see this as torture.

Also - there's a whole tire/wheel subforum with loads of information.
