Re: do you care about fwd or rwd or awd?

You left off the only drive system I will ever own. 4x4. It's different from AWD because the fron axle can be disengaged, and you have the option of 4x4 low.

Re: do you care about fwd or rwd or awd?

My parents both drive FWD cars (Acura 3.5 RL, and a Chrysler Sebring Cnvt.) I have driven both and i dont have a problem with them, but i prefer RWD or AWD. (being more "FUN TO DRIVE" if your into drifting, and that kind of thing.)

awd by far i will never not be without a 4wd vehicle! if that didn't exist i would take the RWD before front wheel drive.

What is FR and what is MR??? Why does everyone on this site always talk about road courses? How many of you race on a road course? Two, maybe?

I like RWD but FWD has many advantages.

- saves Space ( vs.RWD )

- saves Weight ( vs.RWD )

- saves Money ( vs.RWD )

- FWD typical understeer it is essential safer for the standard Driver ( vs.RWD )

- FWD Cars has advantages on Ice and Snow ( vs.RWD )

and so on!

Re: do you care about fwd or rwd or awd?

why do people ALWAYS mention understeer with front drive cars but fail to mention lift-off oversteer?
