Well this is an age old debate that will never be answered...

I have found in my case, it is harder to become out of control with a FWD than RWD in the first place. Usually, atleast in my experience, all you need to do to recover a FWD out of control situation is let off the gas. I have scared myself with RWD way too man times. Maybe becasue the RWD cars had way more power than the FWD cars I have driven.

I guess that is why AWD was developed. You get the best of both worlds when it comes to traction and control situations. One day I will get the chance to drive AWD and see what all you guys are nutz over.
