What is better all wheel drive or front wheel drive?
Front wheel drive is superior in every way...unless you drive on muddy roads or snow every single day. All wheel drive has twice as many parts to break and give trouble with only a very small gain on snow or mud. The previous answer is only partly correct. It depends greatly on where and what you drive in. If you get a lot of rain/snow/mud/etc where you drive, or drive on a lot of dirt or loose rocks, then definitely all wheel drive. If you only drive on dry highways, then front wheel drive is good enough, and will save you a little money on gas. Neither one is superior in every way, it all depends on what conditions you drive in. Obviously if you drive in slippery conditions, 4 wheels will give you superior traction, at the expense of using a little more gas.
