Deciding between a front-wheel or rear-wheel vehicle is really a matter of your needs as a driver. Each one has its own advantages and can offer flexibility according to vehicle use.
Front-wheel drive vehicles are quite common, offering stability in slippery conditions due to the weight of the engine being placed squarely over the driving wheels. They also require less space for the engine and have a smaller transmission footprint inside the cabin. Rear-wheel designs are a favorite in high-performance vehicles, where an increase in speed, power, and cornering capability is particularly advantageous. The transmission hump is far larger in the cabin of a rear-wheel vehicle, but the focus on performance usually makes the interior quite compact already.
If you’re looking for performance and don’t mind sacrificing the control offered by front-wheel drive, rear-wheel is a good choice. If you’re looking for space and stability, front-wheel drive is best.
