I want better driving dynamics in all conditions. Wet and snowy roads just reduce the coefficient of friction in reduce the speeds at which tires lose traction.

I don't drive like a maniac on snow but I like knowing I have a bigger margin of error.

I can't think of any FWD cars with 50:50 weight distribution. Front / Rear balance isn't something on the manufacturer's spec sheet for some reason but some random FWD cars I found:

2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid 57% front / 43% rear.
VW Golf Sportwagen 57% front / 43% rear.
VW GTI 61% Front / 39% Rear.
2016 Dodge Caravan 56% / 44%
