Pretty well put, although I wouldn't say FWD Sucks. For the average driver it's probably a push under normal conditions.
For people (US) that appreciate the abilities of the automobile, FWD does SUCK except when the snow hits.

I do greatly like the handling of my FWD/AWD Escape over the wifes RWD/4WD yeep. Although only a part of that is due to the FWD/AWD vs. RWD/4WD.
In fact I am still impressed with the Escape's handling at high speed / hard cornering.

BUT I really miss my 4SP (Manual) but I realize today an Automatic is many times better, except under the most unusual circumstances,
