Even driven gently, FWD cars have worse tire wear (unbalanced front to rear) than RWD cars.
Plus, IMO, FWD sucks in the snow. Yeah, it's a little harder to get stuck, but it's nowhere near as pleasant as far as handling when you're moving.
A RWD converted 2 door Accord with a stick and some aero mods would be perfect.

Spoken like true 'mericans...
Just kidding...
The thing though, you only know what you are used too..
A well setup FWD car will easily beat any RWD car for neutral handling in corners... And again, well setup, the tire wear is only slightly biased, not more than what can be ecpected from a car that both steers and powers with the same pair of wheels...
As for handling in snow... I'll take a FWD car any time... Unless I can have AWD that is...
