I have driven cars/trucks for 66 years and have driven all types of drive, RWD, all that was available when I started driving, there were some 4 wheel drive jeeps and a few rare 4 wheel drive pickups, drove em for years no problems they all got the jobs done, then rear engine RWD, VW came along, then front wheel drive and drove em for years they got things done, and then AWD, have driven them for about 15 years living in an area that gets real winters for 4 to 5 months a year and they are the cats meow, they really work well, especially with studded snow tires all around, as do 4 WD trucks. would not drive anything else. It does not matter about efficiency or all the technical crap, they just work and work well !!! My motto is "It is better to have and NOT need .....than to need and NOT have !!!

Front-Wheel-Drive may be easier and cheaper to build, but they don't last as long under continued regular use over a long period of time. And yes, I now a few people dispute this claim. But please. How many vehicles are out there now that are of your particular vehicle? A Front-Wheel Drive vehicle in MOST cases will not last as long. And this is because they are built with a weakened structure in it's design. The Front of the car has too many parts in one place and has all of the vibration of all of the moving parts and the vibration of actual movement on just on part of the vehicle. The structural problem is from the fact that the drive wheels aren't on a solid frame like they are on a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle. And that leads to added wear over a shorter period of time.

@TriMuXx 3 года назад

I know this is supposed to be a "High Level" explanation of each drivetrain but AWD can be rear biased as well as front biased. Not all AWD systems work the same. Rally AWD systems are better than generic "Just to say it has AWD" AWD systems and they all perform very differently. I know as a fact that Evo AWD can oversteer instead of understeer in a turn making the argument in this video about AWD having problems from both drivetrains combined moot. The center differential has been the game changer. You can now do RWD drifts in your AWD car. Might be smokier though because you're smoking 4 tires instead of just 2.

@mikeb9569 3 года назад

I agree, but can you turn in as fast in your Evo as a Miata? The CV joint has to be relatively restrictive of movement, or am I wrong?

@TriMuXx 3 года назад

@@mikeb9569 actually, it might be able to do so based on how the Evo's AWD system works. The SAWC can slow down the front inside tire and speed up the rear and front outside tires causing a rotation that would not be typical of the CV joint range of motion on an Evo. Thus allowing greater turn in than it should be able to have. Nissan's ATTESSA AWD system is even better than that. So it's highly likely it can. If you try that in an older Evo though, it might not be possible, no.
