well I love my Civic but I haven't gotten back in a FWD car for like 3 years... The feel of a FWD kinda sucks, I can't be all technical about it but I really miss RWD or even AWD sometimes.
Only problem with RWD is winter seasons, not handling issues but climbing hills is a real pita. If I lived somewhere they didn't have snow I would never have a FWD car.
Just thought I'd share
