Front vs Rear Wheel Drive

[Yapsf]

What's the pros and cons of front wheel drive vehicles vs rear wheel drive vehicles?

[Nhrisuzu]

if i am not wrong.. RWD have more power, becos the rear is pushing the car.. FWD is pulling the car.. so not as much power..

 

correct me if i am wrong..

FWD - more understeer

RWD - more oversteer

 

RWD better for drifting and head in parking

FF cars - More prone to understeer but less engine power lost. Cheaper to manufactor than FR.

 

FR cars - More engine power lost through the driveshaft. More prone to oversteer. One word: doooriftoooo.

Generally FR cars have more TRACTION off the line than FF since the acceleration pushes the rear of the car down. But if the engines produce the same power in 2 cars, the FF car will have more whp since less hp is lost through the shaft.
