FWD vs. RWD vs. AWD Which is best?

Awd slides are just so good I can watch rally clips for hours

[surmello]

bro the 2 "awd" subarus you put were rwd converted drift cars

FWD understeers, RWD Oversteers and AWD does both, you just get to decide which one you want to do 😂

People who hate on fwd never mastered the art of lift off oversteer. Anyone can oversteer in a rwd car and call it day but doing it in a fwd car takes a lot of skill because you have focus on the accelerator pedal and less on the brakes, whilst in a rwd vehicle if you try to power through a corner you’re going to spin out.

Some fwd cars like my 2001 Integra are balanced to allow the driver oversteer if the car isn’t rotating as much as you’d like. I learned that the scary way by coming off the gas too sharply while halfway through a sharp corner in the rain, but the car and I survived it and it’s another little tool I can pull out while driving. This balance towards lift off oversteer combined with double wishbone suspension in the front is a great way to counter that primary weakness of fwd

The funny thing about FWD is that because it's inherently understeery, FWD race cars are built so that they're oversteery on entry and mid-corner, basically anywhere the car isn't putting down power (based on what I read and sims lol).

It makes for some fun driving experiences where you throw the car into a corner at speeds you never thought it could do, and it will just rotate.

RWD is king though.

I'm stuck between FWD and RWD but at the end of the day, gotta love the simplicity of two wheel drive

Late 90’s early 2000’s Audis Quattro system was ABSOLUTELY BUILT DIFFERENT

[quantumlab]

Fwd is so much fun tho like carving up mountain roads just hits different. Also slap a big rear sway bar on pretty much all fwd vehicles and it'll get rid of virtually all that under steer and help with body roll

[alexnor]

The order of greatness goes AWD>RWD>FWD

[jakobl]

up here in Canada the order for all year driving is AWD>FWD>RWD.

[mikeross]

Drive all 3 and you should see the beauty in each. Personally it’s hard.. super hard.. but I’d have to go with AWD 🙏

[billyyank]

Depends what you're doing/trying to do.

[mrpandasian]

I like them all, honda raised my appreciation for FF engine layouts, and id argue that good drivers can be fast in FF cars as well

"Which drivetrain is the best?"

"Yes."

[naylsaibi]

Every drivetrain is good to something
FWD = Straight racing (Drag)
RWD = Drifty and fun
AWD = More grippy but you can do both :)

[dat_all_cool]

i love them all tbh they all have their ups and downs. all good at their own things.

[jphansen]

I’ve driven tons of cars and for me by far the funnest is RWD. It’s such an exhilarating driving experience. Awd and fwd are more practical but nothing tops the thrill of rwd

[DJToneRI]

I'm glad you showed the 7th gen Celica for a fun front wheel drive car because those things are pretty tight

[francispace]

Thank you for an excellent summary. I agree that all drivetrains can be made to work well. Rear wheel drive is my favourite, because it is the system used by classic sports cars and it is lighter than four wheel drive. As Colin Campbell advocated, "Just add lightness".
