I agree with you. FWIW, my dealer does not give me x1's. They know I hate them and won't drive them. I'll take a 320 with no options over an x1. FWD is no bueno in my book.
That's a bit extreme to be honest.

There are very good driving FWD vehicles these days. Sure you may not like the inherit dynamics but it doesn't automatically make them all into bad drivers. I generally shy away from large FWD sedans but smaller cars could benefit. I have been driving MINIs for 18 years and the handling and road holding manners are outstanding.

I too prefer RWD but don't automatically disqualify a car as "No bueno" just because the power is coming from the front...
