FWD vs. AWD
Well, I drive my FWD every day, and I've only driven the AWD once, but:
1. The FWD understeers, a lot, almost all the time no matter what you throw at it. In order to make it oversteer you have to be going really fast, and it usually doesn't end well.
2. If you want the tires to spin in FWD, they'll spin, and it can be very smokey. Not so in the AWD, it just puts you back in your seat and goes.
3. The AWD feels glued to the road, the FWD does not.
I would much rather have the AWD (and a 5-speed, especially with the better torque split). FWD just isn't as much fun.
