Totally depends on the car and what you do with it. Both have their merits and downsides. I own both.I guess than I dont care :)

I have only ever owned a FWD with very low power. All my high power cars have been RWD, only owned 1 4WD.

Cant say i know what i prefer, never had a real chance to test out what they can do ;)

Looks like front wheel drive is not overly popular...

Come on people, there is so much fun in going round a corner, putting your foot down, turning the wheel, and having the car continue without turning...

Even though I have a st171, I also have the st185, therefore... I believe that my choices would be 4wd or Rwd because Fwd is for grandma driving shopping trolleys

You are quite right there DrX, for once I fully agree with you. Fwd has its place which is usually on the road and are great for learners.

Oh and I think you've just gotten too used to being flamed

depends on the purpose, the driver, and whatever else

tom thumb in his evo wouldnt stand a chance against a propper fwd driver >.>

on a drag strip maybe, but thats all >.> anything that involes skill its all driver

but of course, macabre is the bestest driver ev0rzor!

and with a good suspension setup, weight distribution, and alike, a fwd can be VERY good handeling :P.

but meh, as said earlier, ignornace is bliss, im gonna get someone going OMGOSH NO, 4WD IS BESTEST. yeh... its always the best >.> righteo

RWD of course 8)

our old FWD GT starlet race car (RIP :P ) handled absoludely awesome and was really fun to drive because of that
and very few cars can compare with the grip of a 4WD
but who needs grip? its over rated :P

I've only driven 1 type of rwd hard, a go-kart :) it's fun, but I find drifting my fwd much more challenging. It's hard to get right.
I think everyone should have both cos they're both very different to drive.
4wd is boring unless you have *lots* of power.

well yea the best fun ive had in my cars was my 1.3ltr fwd corolla.

What to do: :twisted:

Find a big concrete pad and reverse your back wheels onto 2 plastic trays (eg: mcdonalds trays) Pull the hand brake up and just drive in circles.

It is exactly like driving a RWD car on ice :twisted: :twisted: too much fun.
