jamz Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 RWD - as it handles better. My BMW is RWD, and I notice that it handles better compared to my previous cars (Honda Civic FD, & 08 Corolla Altis. Quote Link to comment
noyzky7 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 FWD is more mechanically efficient than RWD, and more economical... simple the engine is nearer to the load(tire), no more cross bearings and differential gear.. Quote Link to comment
klazzique' Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 For economical purposes, FF wins.For performance, I'll go for the FR. Quote Link to comment
hotboomtown Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 FF Cars for me. but actually it depends on the usage you may want your car to perform with. Quote Link to comment

nizerion Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 A Rear wheel drive (RWD) car is one set up for driving fun.. If you're an aggressive driver , better get AWD. A Front Wheel Drive (FWD) car is set up for safety.. If you're the type na would just like to go from one destination to the next, and doesn't crave for excitement then go get a FWD. If you're a newbie driver, get a FWD. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
skylinegt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 correct kayo mga tol..been driving my gsr since 2003 and never had accident..khit anung bilis pag tumapak k preno swabe lng..unlike RWD got my skyline few months ago..hataw tpos bgla break dmo alam san k pupulutin better practice more cguro.. RWD un lng for drifting correct kayo mga tol..been driving my gsr since 2003 and never had accident..khit anung bilis pag tumapak k preno swabe lng..unlike RWD got my skyline few months ago..hataw tpos bgla break dmo alam san k pupulutin better practice more cguro..

snowman74 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 get both! best of both worlds! front drive gives you that feeling of being pulled which i really like. rear wheel you feel like you are being pushed which is very different. Quote Link to comment
madz_raymund Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 You really can't feel whether the car gets pushed or pulled pagnormal driving, unless your turning in and stepping on the gas hard then may torque steer nangyari and it is the only time you can feel that the front is being pulled to turn..I've driven a few civics, a lancer, a gsr, sentra, and ae92 for fwd some rwd silvia and old corollas usually up and down sa sumulong before, most are lightly modified and some more aggressive but there's no difference in normal driving and high speed cruising and stability unless pushed hard.. on dry, the fwd cars as always under-steer at entry and while accelerating in a fast corner while rwd does a lot less understeer and more tail happy when accelerating in mid corners and exit.. but on the wet, fwd behaves the same until you've reached the limit then biglang sobrang under-steer sa fast corner. word of advice, caution sa corner entry speed ng fwd and caution din sa gas pedal pag rwd lalo sa mid-exit.. pag naexperience mo matinding underster or kahit anong unexpected situation, "Don't just slam on the breaks basta-basta!" lalo na pag walang ABS, lalo ka lang mayayari.. as for sa skyline na bigla break then kakaiba mag react, most probably naglock lang breaks mo, get use to it if you want to drive fast and have to break hard, even mga cars na may ABS my time din nagloloko un.. not sure about the skyline's abs sa lower models na rwd kung meron at kung ok..but so far ngayon lang ako nakarinig niyan from skyline.. unless di na ok ang brakes or di maganda pagconvert ng skyline mo.. FWD or RWD doesn't really affects the breaking behavior of the car as long as they both have or don't have ABS and SC, unless engine breaking then syempre iba un.. or braking hard in a high speed turn may show some slight difference since FR have better wight distribution than the common FF with most of its weight is on the front.. performance, stability, breaking, acceleration, etc.. pag sa peformance lang iccompare laging rwd, kaya nga mga sports cars rwd or awd, basta kelangan gumagana un likod.. but still, fwd technology are fast improving ngayon.. if pang everyday lang, buy the cheaper fwd since di mo naman hahatawin o dadahilhin sa racetrack to notice the difference.. understeer is one big prob tlg sa mga ff, kaya nga if you notice ung mga tuner companies sa jap laging malapad tires sa harap then maliit un likod para less understeer sa turns..

Christian_19 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 FR mas mabilis kesa FF! Quote Link to comment
knoll1234 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Now that the SUV my partner drives is an AWD all wheel drive ,LEXUS RX300 , it doesn't matter if one drives rough, braking rough, towing or giving a push it just drives FUNTASTIC Edited October 24, 2010 by knoll1234 Quote Link to comment
neoscythe Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 You also have to take into account the weight distribution. IMHO kung FWD tapos mas mabigat ang likod, less efficient. Quote Link to comment
mark625 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 i go for rear wheel driveits easy to push than to pull Quote Link to comment
LostCommand Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The top end cars are all rear wheel drive, or sometimes four wheel drive. You do not find a Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, or especially F1 cars running front wheel drive systems. There are very good reasons for that. Rear wheel drive rules. However, of course, for the typical pinoy who can only get second-hand Japanese cheapo boy-racer cars like Evo or GSR here in Pinas, then he has to make do with front wheel drive. Bilib na siya duon. Let's not ruin his day. LC Quote Link to comment

dRyHuNk Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 depends on where you are driving. kung dito sa atin, mas prefer ko RWD kasi multipurpose mga sasakyan natin dito, and pinoys tend to overload. and ang sama ng kalsada dito, imagine kung FWD ang oto lahat ng nasa harap iindahan ang mga lubak. kung RWD, di masyado mabigat ang impact. elsewhere ok ang RWD kasi better traction on snow, etc. Quote Link to comment
j4kst0n3 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 My experience, a FWD vehicle is prone to under-steering. A RWD vehicle is prone to over-steering. When you're driving in a slalom course, a RWD vehicle is easier to handle and maneuver than a FWD vehicle. Quote Link to comment
tazz611 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Rear wheel drive is better for performance reasons. When a car accelerates the weight shifts to the back. So there is better grip .And also, there is no torque steer is you have a lot of power. But the drawback it is heavier because of the rear diffrencial. Advantage of front wheel drive is less weight for better gas mileage. Quote Link to comment
bmathay Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 For performance, rear driven wheels are better than front driven ones. That's the reason BMW still makes their cars that way and have not adopted the front drive layout. There is a better division of labor, so to speak, among the tires: steering to the front tires, and propulsion to the rear ones. Quote Link to comment
trebreg Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 rear wheel syempre... i think mas ok sa akyatan... Quote Link to comment
simplyeric Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 rear wheel drive of course but for maintenance and power efficiency, front Quote Link to comment
