Apr 29, 2019 · The AWD system Audi used, and uses, eliminates them entirely from my consideration. I want a RWD car with all the fun that goes along with it--as God intended. However, my wife's car has one of the adaptive systems where the car is entirely RWD for most times and then shifts power forward only when needed, or off-road.

Off the line, a lot of AWD cars are faster 0-30, 0-60, even 1/4 mile, since they have better traction with 4 drive wheels than 2, but once you are under way, typically 2 wheel drive cars start to pull and rolling resistance is lower as well as weight. I use Porsche as an example, comparing the 911 Carrera/C4, or C2S/C4S, or Turbo S/GT2RS.

Dec 7, 2019 · AWD is a nice to have. There are a limited set of situations where AWD helps, like steep inclines. AWD does not help you stop or turn. And it's not a substitute for proper tires. For me, it is not worth it due to the added cost and mpg hit. Most people I know who bought a car with AWD still use shitty tires and assume AWD cars are invincible in ...

Oct 6, 2021 · There is no thing as AWD drift. AWD car sliding is Powersliding. There is a reason why there is NO AWD drift compititions in real life. Because its not a thing. Its for people in games who dont care about realistic handling and actually balance your car with the throttle. AWD cars dont drift the end. That being said, sure it can be fun and all ...

The best choice is yes all 4 for AWD or modern computer controlled 4WDUU 4WD vs AWD. Know your car and how it works. Older 4WD when you can turn it off and in when needed just make sure the tires on the same drive axle are within spec. For AWD, make sure all.tires are within SPEC. What is SPEC? Subaru NA says within 3 /32 for their AWD systems.

Right. Your other options are FWD cars like the early 2000s Focus, any Civic, etc. I've heard that rallyists say you should get a FWD car as a starter since it teaches you better habits. I have no experience in rallying, so you might want to look into it yourself. But I don't think you'll ever find a better AWD rally starter car than an Impreza

Nov 3, 2021 · It's reactive AWD, so it's basically 99% FWD, then when the system detects slip up front, it sends up to 50% to the back. So, in situations where your front tires are spinning a lot (heavy snow), it's basically the same as AWD, since it works really well and I've yet to get stuck. You feel it though, compared to other cars that are full time AWD.

Nov 14, 2023 · Indeed, as we did see in the British Touring Car Championship with Audis. It was so much better in performance that they banned AWD cars from participating. We dont drive like BTCC everyday, so the difference between FWD, RWD and AWD in real terms is very little.

It's more direct, rewarding, and playful to drive a RWD car. I actually prefer FWD over AWD. The added weight, complexity, and maintenance for AWD doesn't justify the marginal improvement in fun. Most AWD cars are heavily front-biased just like most FWD cars, so the braking and corner entry behavior is still undesirable.
