I drove an Integra GSR for many years and it didn't have any of the bad qualities of FWD. Didn't have enough torque for torque steer and it didn't have terminal understeer, you could coax it to lift-throttle or tap the brakes and get it to oversteer a little.

Have you had tons of bad experiences with FWD, what gives??
Well I wouldn't be so sure about FWD. You see for me when driving one of the most important things is the steering, and FWD corrupts the steering. I cuases torque steer and understeer when you are really pushing. In the Mini I notice this and it's not especially powerful or torquey (170bhp/162ft-lb). I'd definitely be driving a RWD car just for the purity of the steering if I had the choice.
