Possible, but not worth it. It requires such a lot of changes that you're better off selling the car and then buying one with the features that you want instead.

What is better front or rear wheel drive?

That is a debate that will last forever. People who love the classic cars, prefer the Rear-wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive are probably better for fast acceleration such as a dragster.Front wheel came about to save gas; shorten the transmission and drive shaft and you save energy. This lead to smaller engines. They are also better in icy conditions. Rear-wheel drive tends to apply more power to one side and cause the car to spin easier.Mid-engine cars tend to handle the curves better whether they are front- or rear- wheel driven.The front wheel drive was much cheaper for automakers to produce. The traction is much better on snow and ice - but there is a real nasty down side.When you combine the tremendous drive torque plus the considerable braking torque to the dynamic wheel and road vibration Reflected Back into the Steering Assembly you have a recipe for dangerous early mechanical failure and disaster.Chrysler has changed corporate ownership twice allowing them to possibly minimize the legal impact of this considerable financial liability.If you only expect to drive a car for 50K or 60K you may find front wheel drive very attractive. However you should have the front wheel drive steering components checked regularly after 60 thousand miles (with regularity) to be safe.You can do an internet search for Chrysler front wheel drive complaints and evaluate for yourself.


Which is better all wheel front wheel or back wheel drive?

It depends greatly on how, 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 or rear 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. Front wheel drive can lead to understeer when cornering. If your wheels slip when turning, you will drift toward the outside of the turn, possibly into oncoming traffic. Rear wheel drive can cause oversteer, and make you spin out, or fishtail, if you give it too much gas. If you plan on towing a load, then you would want rear or all wheel drive so you have as much traction in the back as possible. When you hit the gas all the weight shifts to the back, so you would likely just spin the tires if using front wheel drive. So basically what's "better" of the 3 for one person might not be as good for someone else. If you're not sure what driving conditions lie ahead, then go for all wheel drive just to be safe, or even better 4 wheel drive, so you can engage it only when needed.
