The type of drive is one of the most important features of any car. Front-, all- and rear-wheel drive all have their own advantages. Choosing one is just a matter of knowing which one is best for your needs, and why.
Front-wheel drive is the most economical. It also delivers great traction when driving on ice or in snowy conditions. However, the weak point of front-wheel drive is that it’s easily damaged. Even hitting a curb can cause problems for a front-wheel drive vehicle.
Rear-wheel drive is rugged. It’s typically found in emergency vehicles like police cars. Rear-wheel drive vehicles usually handle better, too. Their design provides them with better balance.
All wheel drive combines features of both. AWD vehicles get great traction on any surface. The downside is that they’re much heavier than front- or rear-wheel drive vehicles. Come see us at Car Trackers with any questions about your vehicle’s drive.
