Peryn nailed it. FWD just doesn't feel right at all with the torque steer and the way it tends to plow into turns. They've gotten better, but it still can't compare to RWD. Plus I like doing a 4-wheel slide in the rain or kicking the rear out a little in turns.
Ease of repairs is a biggie as well. Basic things like changing the spark plugs can be an absolute nightmare on a transverse-mount V6 or V8.
I've owned nothing but rear-wheel drive cars in the 5 years I've been driving. FWD is unquestionably better for winter weather, but the only time I ever got completely stuck was in 6 inches of slushy snow on top of wet leaves on top of mud. And I'd be amazed if FWD would have gotten me out of that one.
