The FR-S would be a perfect car for me right now, and when I sat in one I felt like I could drive a million miles an hour. As a year round DD though I just don't know that it's the most practical choice. It's basically coming down to do I use my head or my heart when I pick between the two.
Don't expect the Focus ST to do any better during the winter. For one it comes with wide summer tires so you'll still need dedicated winter tires and wheel. It also has an open differential. The electronic "differential" is worthless for ice and snow.

It's hard to beat the practicality though.
