Front engined or Mid engined?
What do you guys think about this one?? Remember mid-engined cars can be practical too. The NSX feels very calm in the city. Also show an example of a great car that suports your answer.
 Like for Front you can say Corvette, Mid you can say NSX etc. I was just giving examples. I like both although most of my favorite cars are front engined. BTW, if you pick a front-mid engined car like the S2000... umm I guess you like both too.  I say Front engined first I guess some of my favorite toys are front engined. Like the Skyline GT-R. |

Mid-Engined, it just sounds more exotic and you can have generally bigger engines back there, well not nessecarily true, you can put as big of engine anywhere you want, but with a Mid engine, it's more out of the way. As for me, Rear-Engined.

It tells where the engine block sits with respect to the axles of the car.
Front - in front of the front axle Front-mid - in front of the driver, but behind the front axle Rear-mid - behind the driver, but in front the rear axle Rear - behind the rear axle |

I'll take a mid-rear engine car. Especially RWD which the engine weight helps plant the tires to the ground.

All Deloreans came from the factory with a PRV (Peugeot, Renault, Volvo) 2.8L V6 hanging out the rear of the (Lotus-designed) backbone chassis.
If someone put an engine up front, they would have had to do TONS of work on it, unless it was tubbed. Which, come to think of it, would have made the car so much better. |

id have to go mid or rear. in part becuase its different, in part because you open the trunk and 'look theres an engine there'. id love to see someone take out the backseat of a civic and replace it with an engine. how awesome would that be?
