Is there a car which features full-time front wheel drive on both wheels?

Can you recommend a new or used model of front wheel drive car that is permanently driven by both front wheels? I am tired of having to pull off or to the side of narrow roads to allow passing, only to find that my Skoda Octavia comes to a halt with its nearside front wheel spinning when I want to pull away.

Peugeot/Citroen does an option called 'Grip Control': an electronically locking front diff on the 3008, the Berlingo and the Partner. Alternatively, Skoda does 4WD versions of its Octavia and Yeti.
