For 90% of the population fwd. The other 10% can fight over the rest. Fwd, Cheaper to manufacture, more efficient better mpg, less expensive to repair, less weight. Even if your in the snow ❄️ belt, kissing cousins to Canada(I’m sorry if your are), fwd is better with 2 front snow ❄️ tires, not four like Awd that you need. Even if you drive a ev, Fwd is better for regen hands down! For the good old boys (and girls), that are into 4 wheel drive, let’s just say they like 4-wheel drive along with a favorite beer, nobody is going to change them. Again, if your in the southern area of the US don’t let the salesperson talk you into awd, you just don’t need or really want it, they want you to have it

Rear-Wheel-Drive=power from rear wheels. Front-Wheel-Drive=power from front wheels. All-Wheel-Drive=Front-Wheel-Drive+Rear-Wheel-Drive added with zero modification to the drivetrain configuration. Four by Four (4x4) is a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle modified so that the drive wheel also drive the front wheels. This is if I'm correct, what is so hard with jusst saying this?

Hi Brad is the chr the best suv by Toyota that has the sickest widebody

I like to do rallycross on my spare time and i am fan of Toyota's.

I have driven cars/trucks for 66 years and have driven all types of drive, RWD, all that was available when I started driving, there were some 4 wheel drive jeeps and a few rare 4 wheel drive pickups, drove em for years no problems they all got the jobs done, then rear engine RWD, VW came along, then front wheel drive and drove em for years they got things done, and then AWD, have driven them for about 15 years living in an area that gets real winters for 4 to 5 months a year and they are the cats meow, they really work well, especially with studded snow tires all around, as do 4 WD trucks. would not drive anything else. It does not matter about efficiency or all the technical crap, they just work and work well !!! My motto is "It is better to have and NOT need .....than to need and NOT have !!!

I personally think that neither is better than the other, they all have advantages and tradeoffs, and it depends on preference and priorities.

FWD is sufficient even for most car enthusiasts. I beat S2000s, corvettes and 370z routinely at autocross in my Scion tc. It really comes down to your seat time to get the most out of your car. That being said if you are one budget getting FWD will usually mean you get a nicer ride, that is easier to live with.

Front-Wheel-Drive may be easier and cheaper to build, but they don't last as long under continued regular use over a long period of time. And yes, I now a few people dispute this claim. But please. How many vehicles are out there now that are of your particular vehicle? A Front-Wheel Drive vehicle in MOST cases will not last as long. And this is because they are built with a weakened structure in it's design. The Front of the car has too many parts in one place and has all of the vibration of all of the moving parts and the vibration of actual movement on just on part of the vehicle. The structural problem is from the fact that the drive wheels aren't on a solid frame like they are on a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle. And that leads to added wear over a shorter period of time.

all three of these drivetrains are good in their own way for what you want the driver I'm one of those people that says you're going to like what you're going to like if you want to drift and have good power slides and have fun going around corners rear wheel drive if you want to get good grip powered off four wheels live in the mountains four-wheel drive if you want to have to hold the back of your car like a shopping cart to burn out you want front wheel drive

The thing with RWD is that apart from the fun factor it offers no real practicality. AWD is the better all-around package in almost every scenario, or FWD if you're going for a cheap economy choice (in most cases).

Anything thats rear wheel is the correct answer

I know this is supposed to be a "High Level" explanation of each drivetrain but AWD can be rear biased as well as front biased. Not all AWD systems work the same. Rally AWD systems are better than generic "Just to say it has AWD" AWD systems and they all perform very differently. I know as a fact that Evo AWD can oversteer instead of understeer in a turn making the argument in this video about AWD having problems from both drivetrains combined moot. The center differential has been the game changer. You can now do RWD drifts in your AWD car. Might be smokier though because you're smoking 4 tires instead of just 2.

@@mikeb9569 actually, it might be able to do so based on how the Evo's AWD system works. The SAWC can slow down the front inside tire and speed up the rear and front outside tires causing a rotation that would not be typical of the CV joint range of motion on an Evo. Thus allowing greater turn in than it should be able to have. Nissan's ATTESSA AWD system is even better than that. So it's highly likely it can. If you try that in an older Evo though, it might not be possible, no.
