Being front-wheel drive also means it’s going to be better in the wet and especially the snow, so it’s certainly a more sensible choice if you live in a four-season climate.
I call Bullshit. A lightweight, balanced 50/50 weight distribution RWD car will behave just as well (probably better) than that Civic in the hands of a skilled driver. Stop putting rats in people's heads about RWD being inferior in inclement weather!

So in other words, if you want a practical car, like we knew all along, the BRZ may not be the best choice. And if you want it to be faster right out of the gate, get rid of the Prius tires in favor of some proper summer tires!
