Driving a RWD car on snow is completely different from FWD. With RWD, you're toeing the line between driving a car and guiding a missile. If you can drive a car by the feel of it, then RWD is okay for you. If you don't know what that means, and aren't interested in finding out (possibly the hard way), then FWD is better.

My last RWD was my 1972 Chevy Nova... big brute of a beast. The desire to get going combined with the challenge of continuing to point forward made for some interesting situations...

My personal preference is FWD with ABS and Traction Control (which is really ABS in reverse). Doesn't have the true "get up and go" of a sports car, but you've seen Boston traffic... when can you really do that?
