FWD supposedly is easier to drive in the wet and snow, but I wouldn't know since I'm from LA. I can say it does allow for more efficient packaging since the entire drivetrain is contained in the engine bay. In a RWD car the transmission and drive shaft can intrude into passenger compartment space.

RWD allows for better driving dynamics for reasons I'm too tired to write about right now.
