FWD handles differently from RWD drive. You do not drive a Saab through a turn the same way you would drive a BMW. gas guzzling - My Saab gets a combined mileage of 28 mpg, pure highway it has gotten close to 35 mpg - so compared to a Civic it guzzles unreliable - My Saab is 15 years old and has over 200,000 miles and starts up with one turn of key - .
