When you don't happen the option of ideal lines, that is the place where awd shines.
Quattro/AWD = Less entertainment but is quicker on public road.
RWD = Far more entertaining but ultimately not as quicker.
P.S.
The new M3 is probably the best balanced rwd car out there for normal use, it's nose grips extremely well in all corners and as long as you aren't too aggressive with the throttle it can carry some serious speed through corners.

I agree with you here.
I have yet to drive the new M3 at a track (only on the street) but I am really looking forward to it. I plan on doing ED when I buy mine so hopefully will get it on the ring. Although I dont like to go crazy with a car till I have had some time to get used to it.
