"Powerful" isn't a good word to describe the difference between FWD and RWD. In race conditions, and with similar engine power, RWD cars can accelerate harder than FWD due to dynamic weight transfer. And some FWD cars can display something called torque steer. But unless you drive at tire squeal levels, this doesn't matter. FWD cars tend to behave more predictably on slippery roads, and the compact drive train leave more space for the passenger compartment.
More weight over the drive wheels = better traction with front wheel drive.
I think you mean front wheel drive, it is true there will be more wear on the front tires than on a rear wheel drive. That's why wheel rotation is important. As for vibration, that's far more likely to be wheels requiring balancing than because its front wheel drive.
4 Wheel drive is better. It gives more road surface selection to get the most traction four wheel drive because 4 is better than 2 hands down but front wheel drive is better than rear wheel drive
The power is being routed to either the front or the rears. I believe that the front wheel drive is more commuter car friendly and the rear wheel drive leans a little toward sporty/performance based cars.
Front wheel drive bikes offer better traction and stability, especially in wet or slippery conditions. They also provide a more efficient power transfer from the pedals to the wheels, making them easier to ride uphill. Additionally, front wheel drive bikes tend to be lighter and more maneuverable than rear wheel drive bikes.
Front wheel drive. The weight of the engine puts pressure on the front tires giving you more traction to the tires that not only propel the vehicle but also steer the vehicle.
Get the drive shaft out of WHAT? Front wheel drive vehicles are considerably more difficult to remove than most rear wheel drives unbolt it
Economy and other smaller cars are more commonly front wheel drive. Light/medium duty trucks, luxury cars, SUVs, et. al. are more commonly rear wheel drive.
ONLY the front tires can spend on a non-all wheel front end driven car.
Yes, the Chrysler PT Cruiser is a front-wheel-drive vehicle. This design helps improve traction and handling, especially in various driving conditions. The front-wheel-drive layout also contributes to a more spacious interior since the drivetrain components are primarily located in the front of the vehicle.
You didn't mention if it were 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive, need more info.
Most of them actually have front wheel drive, but more and more new ones are coming with all wheel drive (not necessarily quite the same thing as 4 wheel drive or 4X4). Some people also like to customize their vans and retrofit them with 4X4 chassis.
