I say Less Hating on Front Wheel Drives

My daily/winter car is FWD, and it's a great car. It's great until you push it harder than about 70%, at which point it all falls apart. Any slip of the drive wheels means the steering may as well be disconnected, which is lovely fun in snow (I will believe until I die that in snow or loose conditions, RWD is a zillion times easier to control). It's hateful to work on (transverse engine, tiny transmission stuffed into utter inaccessability).
For any sort of performance use, RWD or AWD are comically better, and I'd rather work on those as well--assuming the engine is longitudinally mounted.
For mild, day-to-day use, the only perk to FWD that I can think of is the lack of a trans tunnel, so you've got a bit more legroom. Whee?

Found out yesterday on some mighty tight mountain switchback corners that Bubba the Truck is real wheel drive. Is there anything lower than lower case? rear wheel drive.

Is rear wheel drive more fun? Absolutely! Can front wheel drive perform? You had better believe me, it can and will.... do we own both? Yes... It is surely fun when the unsuspecting try to play Russian roulette with the silver bullet though....

Front-wheel-drive cars are good for going out parts-hunting for rear-wheel-drive cars...

We still love the bullet.... granted....mods have been made, and, most of the torque steer is gone.... we are now at the limits of transmission reliability, but, more mods are in the future....

And with that said, if it weren't for tuners, we'd have no turbos - but then again, whatever floats their boat is none of my damn business

That is actually all wheel drive . I'm finding that I'm not so much of a front wheel drive hater as I am a sideways motor hater . So , I'm still on the outside with this one . Not saying it wouldn't be fun to drive . I just don't want to own or work on it . What you do in your garage ...........well let's just do the don't ask don't tell thing .
