I've said it before and I'll say it again... FWD is simply more complex overall to maintain and work on than a straight-forward RWD system. It just comes down to the laws of physics and packaging. When you stuff so much running gear into one end of a vehicle, you are testing the limits of every piece of that puzzle. This in addition to whatever it may or may not do for handling and driving characteristics and the inbalances in weight.
