I've never had any trouble with them and they have more stability than rear wheel drive cars. Since force is being applied in front of the CG of the car, then the engine is basically "pulling" the car down the road, much like pulling a trailer behind a truck. With rear wheel drive, the engine is "pushing" the car, which increases side-to-side instability, like trying to back up with a trailer behind you. I have had no problem with my Eclipse (front wheel drive). It's nice in the snow, too.
I agree with you - but the one draw back of having everything up in the front - is space! Tollerances are sssoooo tight up there - it's not even funny.

So - agian this is my own thoughts - if you like fwd vehicles - more power to you - but from a mechanics stand point - it will cost you more money to repair and once something starts to go - get rid of it!
