[QUOTE="primus2211, post: 664190, member: 6227"] This is actually pretty much an antiquated thoughts that BMW and Mercedes used to propagate to differentiate themselves from other cars in the past. Recently both has quietly toned this down as news of FWD cars coming from both parties has eroded this claim. In the past RWD was touted as being better because the front wheels are dedicated to steering while the back wheels to drive. FWD will use the front for both drive and steer which in theory would result in less response, accuracy and control. Unfortunately with advent of new tech e.g. electronic diff, ABS, ESP, etc... most of those advantages are splitting hairs. Currently I have in my parking: Front engine, rear drive Front engine, front drive Mid engine, rear drive Front engine, AWD Mid engine, AWD And in all honesty, if they were all driven ala cruiser style, I would not really be able to say which is better.
