FWD vs RWD S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Tom on  Mon Mar 25 00:03 CST 2002 [RELATED]

"For some people, a RWD car is not an option. Depsite what some people claim, the traction control devices in the aforementioned cars are not comparable to the traction provided by a FWD car."

-although many people will tend to agree with you, I've had no problems in my wintery area with RWD (2WD), 4 snow tires and can seemingly do better than most of the FWD cars on the roads although most with FWD are mislead to think that they don't need snow tires anymore (or tires with much treadlife either for that matter, from what I see). BTW, none of my cars have any traction control devices and I do fine w/o them, no need. The auto industry has duped the public into thinking that they really need all of these modern safety devices and perhaps if one lacks driving skills, maybe some do?

After 30 yrs of driving, owning many older RWD cars, I still prefer RWD myself.
