You will find that a FWD handles a lot better then the RWD. For example,
when you make a turn, depending on how fast you are going and the road
conditions, you will find that the FWD pulls you through the turn as the
RWD pushes you through. Advantages are that when being pulled you can go
a little faster in your turns. Fishtailing is no more an option unless
you are looking to do that. I'd take a FWD over a RWD any day and a
Quattro over both. While you may not need it for your driving style,
you'll be glad you had it in an emergency.
Also if you are looking to race, and from the sounds of your post you
might be looking at that angle, then go with a RWD. They have the best
jump out the gate. Other then that what difference does a few seconds
make?
