My wife's F80 M3 CP is an undeniably fun and practical car. My F82 M4 is slightly less practical and just as much fun.

I grew up in Michigan in a family with four kids and RWD station wagons served us just fine, long before there were AWD SUVs. Of course none of those vehicles were even remotely fun!
Granted, but even in rain, when towing, or just hauling a lot of weight, awd would be preferred. RWD might be "fine" but AWD will perform better. And if it's not going to be (as) fun, then why not get the creature comforts and safety to go with it?
