it’s kinda unfair for me to vote, since i’ve never drive/owned an AWD vehicle, but based on my experience and what i know/have heard:

AWD is heavier  
AWD means more to break  
RWD is the platform for just about every supercar, race car, etc…out there (with the exception of rally usually)  
Most cars are front engine, and RWD helps evenly distribute weight front to rear in them…

Obviously there are pro’s to AWD, and cons to RWD, but i’m voting RWD, so why promote that which i am not voting for…  
But overall, it really does depend on the application and what you plan on using the car for…
