Na lie. If you're stuck in mud or ice then you'll see how RWD sucks. Mind you, recent AMGs are dual shifts or MCT which are some modifications to auto, Bugatti veyron is auto, lamborghini, porsche panameras, bentley, rolls royce, maybachs are autoshifts these cars aren't for men but made men.
they are built to specification only rolls is fully auto,most are semi-auto

I am a sucker for rwd and that is why you will only see Bmw and Mercedes in my garage. No kaka kaka for shafts.

@Op you can't come up with that copy and paste conclusion that RWD are better than FWD. I have both, I use my RWD in summer and my FWD in fall and spring.
They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Tonychristopher, hope you know curvette and viper are RWD?
1. Why don't you try driving it in the wet or snow? A FWD will handle better in snow and wet than a FWD,
2. A FWD accelerate faster off the line than a RWD with same engine, same mass, same gear ratios due to mass on driving wheels while RWD won't accelerate as fast as a FWD due to excessive mass, and excessive wheel spin
3. A FWD has more space than a RWD,
4. A FWD gives more fuel economy than a RWD.
5. Some FWD handles high speed too. Eg, your Miata, golf gti


FIY I had a RWD truck before I sold it, I also acquired a RWD truck but I had to return it and get my cash back due to the kazeemization done to it.

FWD: Faster acceleration.

RWD: balance, stronger,ruggedest,better control, its front wheels does lesser Work, i can turn my steering almost 90° without fear, more expensive.

I wonder who the fool is, is every snowfall 5 inch? 5 inch snow has become the minimum snowfall abi? Which car wont get stuck in a snow storm? Even an aeroplane gets grounded in a snow storm so what are you saying?

If a front wheel drive and a rear wheel drive car both get stuck on ice, snow, sand or mud which do you think has a better chance. Front wheel does better in all conditions above so what do you know? Front wheels officially has better traction than rear wheels.

Its high time you converted you own visa fees for WAEC/NECO fees.

The bold is a big lie!

Rear wheel has lower traction thats why it is prefered for drifting. You ever wonder why front wheel drive is not used for drifting, because it has so much control that to get it to loose control isnt so easy.

Do you know drifting is an art of controling a car that has actually lost traction or control. Try it and see.

u obviously have your own point while the OP has valid ones too, if u didn't agree with his conclusions there are less abusive ways of doing that. this is the same reason why ignorant people end up ruling the enlightened because while they are busy fighting each other he amasses power. u and the OP have schooled many of us today already but it can be wout insults

The crux of the matter is that the op has no point since the whole post isnt his but some one elses opinion which he copied and pasted without attributing it to the writer personalized in the write up.

The op's opinion is not yet known so if you notice i cant reply him based on the post.

I didnt mean to abuse or insult kinematic but i believe he is a victim of the op. The only person i believe i've insulted deserves every bit of it even though it wasnt i he insulted.

there are no fwd in the world's fastest 10 cars!!! FACT.

the handling and comfort of a rwd trumps that of a fwd to blazes. reason all bad ass manufacturers go for rwd e.g benz, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, aston martin etc. and when Toyota and co want to play catch up, they equip some of their Lexus with rwd.
