Re: Whats the point of Front Wheel drive?

I think safety is a large part of it too. Family cars aren't meant to be driven aggressively, and you don't have to worry about them spinning around on you. Slippery conditions in general, are much easier to deal with in a FWD car.

that being said, they can handle pretty decently. Cadillacs keep traction pretty well for 300+ hp, and don't have much torque steer. Same goes for supercharged Grand Prix's. Its kinda nice to be able to stomp on the gas without worrying about the rear end swinging

Not that I'd go out of my way to own one, mind you.
