Which do you prefer rwd,fwd or 4wd?

I prefer rwd when it dry or slightly damp & if the road is soaking prefer 4wd.

What drivetrain do most people prefer to drive in this day & age?

I enjoy rwd for fun & steering feel the most.

Would be a better thread if it was a poll that no one could make comments upon. Just a straight forward set of stats.

Anyway :-

1st Mid engined RWD (own one)
2nd Front engined RWD (own two)
3rd ??? Mid engined 4WD ??? never driven so unsure
4th Front engined 4WD (own one)
5th fwd (had a couple of them before I could afford a good car )

Think the poll thread has been done,so was just interested in reasons which was prefered.

Notice you have mid engined RWD,i havent driven this layout & you prefer it to front engined RWD,why the preference? is it better grip with engine nearer the driven wheels?

RWD does not mean you have good steering feel.

For the road a 4WD haldex system is probably best. FWD until you need the extra traction.

I tend to think that without drive to the wheels that steer it gives you more feel,its always been said what great steering feel most 911s have because its uncorrupted & left to what it should do.
I remember driving a renault 19 16v years ago & was blown away with how good the steering was,so its each to their own i suppose.
