A properly designed FWD car is generally much safer and easier to drive than a RWD car. The inherent understeer is much easier to handle as a daily driver. Our limited slip helps with traction considerably. Torque steer can be an issue too but the electric steering in my Si all by eliminates that. RWD is great for purpose built track cars. AWD; what can you say. By far the best but not available to everyone. Loved my '85 Audi Coupe Quattro. Tended to drive a bit more aggresively because of the increased confidence however. My bad. But with many AWD vehicles, it isn't full time AWD. Like my wife's CRV. It's FWD until extra traction is needed. Again, probably because FWD is safer and easier to drive in general. Now a Porsche Carrera 4 AWD is biased about 70% rear / 30% front but it's a racing car without numbers slapped onto the side. Hey, if Tommy Kendall praises the handling of the '06 Si on a Speed TV test drive then I'm more than convinced that I like the handling too.
