We've "been there, done that" on this issue here several times.
FWD, great for snow, I don't care what anyone says. 30 plus years of driving in both FWD & RWD, so I'm far from an inexperienced driver. On Seattle hilly-snowy-icey roads, I'll take FWD anyday. Period.
My Lexus has all that traction control crap and it's RWD, I keep it out of the snow!
Normal, dry road driving, I don't really care which I drive. How the hell can you tell, unless you're dumping the clutch everytime you take off? If you're doing that, go back to driving school.
