If I had to choose between a front wheel drive car and a rear wheel, I would take a front wheel drive car. 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.
