why are rwd cars better than fwd?

Answer 1

fwd cars r easier to drive and handle easier/better and are more commonly known to understear (where the front of the car skids opposite the to way you are turning)

rwd cars r generally faster because when u accelerate the weight shifts 2 the rear of the car and pushes the tyres down allowing for more traction and r more commonly known to overstear where the rear of the car skids the way u r turning. And they r harder to handle (for inexperienced drivers that is)

rwd cars being better than fwd is an opinion

Answer 2

I don't think they are better or worse. The front wheels do a lot of work on fwd cars they hold most of the weight, steer, traction while the rear wheels just loaf along and hold the back of the car up.

Answer 3

what makes you think rwd is better? it has advantages for high power - high performance cars. for everyday utility - economy cars, front wheel drive is better. with rwd and LOTS of power you can steer the car with the rear wheels. also for drag racing starts the weight transfers to the rear wheels so you get more traction.

Answer 4

Personally, I like front wheel drive as I find them to be better in inclement weather.
But my girlfriend, who is from Canada and used to much worse weather than I will ever encounter(I live in the South), likes rear wheel drive. Go figure!
I think it's all a matter of what you feel comfortable driving.

Answer 5

They have better balance. It can mean better handling and acceleration. You dont see fwd Porsches, Ferraris, and Lambos do you?

Answer 6

They aren't in all aspects. They are however rear wheel drive while the other are front wheel drive.

Answer 7

They are only better when you drive them backwards.
