A. H. is exactly correct in his observations above. However, to make a grand
oversimplification, FWD biggest advantage is efficiency in terms of less
machinery required therefore lighter weight, more useable space in the
interior of the cars, better at transmitting power to the road in sloppy
weather, etc. FWD, to me, is the efficient 2 wheel drive utility vehicle for
small loads and small to medium horsepower. RWD should be better for most
all other uses, all other things being equal, which they never are. Alex H.
