You only hear about the ones that did curb their first RWD car, not the ones that were responsible and safe. |

RWD AND FWD just determines which end of the car goes off the cliff first.

AWD cars are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

But when there's a foot of snow on the ground with patches of black ice it doesn't matter how careful you are. Again, possibly only in Canada? |

Get a beater E30/E36 or a Miata as a starter RWD car and learn the balance. You'll make some mistakes in the process, and hopefully they'll be small ones. Making a small mistake in a brand new car would be a major bummer, while in an E30 it would mean picking up a $40 bumper from the junk yard. New cars like the FRS are built to crumple. It will not hide your mistakes.

It all comes back to don't be a d**k You're just as likely to hurt yourself in any other sporty car. Don't be an idiot. Got to autoX, track days. Learn your car in a safe environment. But I do agree for someone's first car to go way cheaper than brand new for the reasons that you mentioned
