Exactly.


In my own expirience, I have few complaints about FWD, but many about rear. I especially don't care for the fishtailing rear end. My bro has an IS300 and it is the most unstable, insecure car I have ever driven. I would not dare speed through S curves in it, because it is so awful.

For me, AWD is everything. The ability to shift power from wheel to wheel and know that if the rear wheels lose traction, the front wheels will make it up with minimal faltering. One thing I hate about 2WD is that if your floor it, you usually have wheel spinnage, thus slowing you down and causing an accident. With AWD you can floor it and GO!
