Not Much
Not to much different. I agree that the FWD is a little quicker, but does not corner quite as well. Also, there is definitely more torque steer on the FWD. Mileage on the FWD is slightly better. My 94 FWD is also faster than my AWDs. Many will argue about that, but I definitely have the basis for comparison. My 94 FWD is an LE, so weight difference is not only in AWD versus FWD tranny, but also no sunroof and no ABS. Originally it was cloth manual seats so that was even less weight, but I have converted it to leather.
If you don't need the AWD for bad weather purposes, I think you will be perfectly happy with a FWD even despite very slightly degraded handling.
