Wiki makes some valid points. A good FWD system will not be able to put the power down nearly as well as a RWD car. As for wet/snowy driving? Front wheel drive isn't safer by itself. Merely the fact that when you overcome traction on a FWD vehicle it understeers.

Personally, I'd rather have rear in just about every situation, or AWD. Front wheel drive is for performance wannabes, and imposters. FWD simply asks the front wheels to do too much. Brake, accelerate, and corner.

Where in rear wheel drive car the front wheels need only brake and corner.
