Something all of you have forgotten.
In the SNOW, which we get for about 5 or 6 months of the year, you can't beat Front Wheel Drive. With the weight over the drive wheels, you will be able to get yourself in and out of the snow a whole hell of a lot better.
For the average smuck driving to and from work, FWD is superior in every way.
If you are talking all out performance, yeah, RWD gives you a better handling car with slightly better weight distribution.
But for your day to day driver, you can't beat FWD. I have to deal with snow a whole lot more than a hair pin turn on a downgrade with full throttle.
For the record, I own 2 cars, one RWD and one FWD. The FWD is my day to day driver.
Though yes, I would prefer a nice Audi A-6 AWD if given the choice. Someone lend me 60 grand please.
