I guess it depends what fwd cars you have driven, I agree most are very dull but there are a few exceptions, mostly French hot hatches.
I've owned 3 Peugeot 106 GTI's over the years. Yep, it's only a cheap hot hatch but even coming up to my forties now I'd buy another in a shot if I found a mint, low millage, unmolested, unmodded example. It can mess with cars way, way above it's price range. The handling is exceptional, so much more fun than you'd believe possible in a fwd car. Lightweight, exceptional balance and turn in and with a very playful progressive rear end which you could hang out and control on the throttle to some degree when you wanted to play.
Back in 98 when they were first released, tested by Richard Burns and Tim Harvey it finished 2nd overall in the Top Gear handling test up against all the top performance cars of the time, lotus Elise etc.. and was beaten only by the Ferrari 575 Maranello... high praise indeed!
I really miss it... so much.
