I know this question quite weird but i really wants to know...

BMW, merc, audi.. usually continental cars are RWD.

Toyota Mr2

smart fortwo and smart roadster

Audi is front wheel drive

nissan cefiro, alfa romeo

illegally modified rear axle perdana.

not kenari, but most vans are rear wheel

Old Japanese car during the 70's also rear wheel drive..I think Toyota corolla DX & b4 that also rear wheel drive..Nowadays, really not many having read wheel dive..For those sport tuned, they have all 4 wheel drives but not only the rear wheel for eg..Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru Impreza & etc..

You are talking about the OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD Skool Cefiro aren't you? The A31. That's the first and last Cefiro with RWD.

toyota avanza and innova lol.
i think alza as well?

Between Rear Wheel Drive and Front Wheel Drive. Which would be better?

Don't tell me 4WD =.= Everyone know that's the best

yup. because i had repair this car engine so i tought new cefiro also RWD.

my father used to own skoda 120 back in 1980's, its a rear wheel drive with its engine at the back.

just imagine...one is pushing the car from the back and another is pulling the car from the front..so use your imagination which easier..pull or push?

Another is comparing superb torque but lack of hi-en power & another so-so pick-up but better hi-end power

i remember my father's car, wolkwagen, the engine located at the rear. a lot of old car using RWD compare today

rear wheel drive better. why? pls google

whether rear wheel drive and front wheel drive, both of them have advantage and disadvantage (need more than 3 days to discuss this .The best about RWD is the engine very hard to over torque or overspin when you accelerate the car which give more power. It also have very good handling in dry road condition.

Thanks Guys for the Info. Appreciate it

The info given by me is very limited, i recommend you to test the car or google yourself to get better understanding. If i'm not mistaken, most car using rear wheel because to improve handling, however citroen is the first car win the race using front wheel drive (i'm not remember which race).

Ferrari
Lamborghini (Model end -2)
Maserati
Aston Martin
Honda S2000, NSX
Lexus
Nissan Fairlady Z, Silvia & some Skyline
Hyundai Genesis
Alfa Romeo
Bentley
Fiat
Saab
Jaguar
Mazda MX5, RX7 & RX8
Toyota Supra, MR2, Altezza, Crown & Mark X
Merc Benz (except A & B Class)
Lotus
Opel

Either FWD or RWD, got Pro & Con... None the best...

Very well said. Also with today's not so good drivers and trigger happy lawyers, even rear wheel drive cars eg. BMW are much easier to drive and tuned for safer responses ie. understeer not oversteer.

In short unless you're among the top 1% of drivers out there you get much more feel and control of the road driving a gokart then a modern RWD car.

so most proton car is 4wd?

im just asking.....

so most proton use what?

proton use front wheel drive. You can check it by open up proton bonnet and see the engine location (this will give you answer the car have front engine) for the wheel drive check the drive shaft connected from gear box, if the driveshaft connect to front tyre that mean the car is front wheel) so for proton is FF mean front wheel drive with front engine location.

Continuation of this thread? o.O

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1994726

super TB, google can help you.

why so mafan? just take a peek underneath the rear boot and see if got the rear axle or not. not ned open bonnet and identify the driveshaft for which i dont think those who need to ask such question know what u were talking about

Alza is front wheel drive.

Avanza, Rush, Innova are rear wheel drive.

RWD vehicle has a center hump on the floorboard at the rear passenger seat. Once I was ferrying a full load and three girls was sitting at the rear. The center one has no leg room so she has to put one of her leg on the hump and everything under her hood is exposed.

RWD vehicles usually have the fan driven by the engine itself and not electrically operated as in FWD. Advantage of RWD is it is easier to balance the weight distribution of the car eg. the former Alfettas where they place the gear box almost in the middle to balance the car weight distribution for better road holding. If you are planning to take a load uphill, will it be easier to push from the back or pull from the front I think it is easier to push from the back, that's why there are still many expensive cars still chooses RWD.

I still like RWD vehicles as they are easier to correct when driving hard into corners and also there is no bothersome drive shafts to bother about. Drive axles are more hardy than CV joints or drive shafts. Ever wonder why AE86 are popular or the KE70 for drifting? Because they are RWD.

Normaly proton use front wheel drive.

From wikicars perspective

From wikipedia perspective

btw, not all proton are FWD

Who told you 4WD is the best? Whether FWD, RWD or AWD, all have their pros and cons.

THIS!

myvi, inspira, vios, city, kenari, kancil

Dude, that car can be configurable rear wheel or 4x4 .. you dun drive it 4x4 on the normal road, only during offroad you switch it to 4x4... been driving tat for 3 years...

proton juara

He might be thinking if the car reverse, the front wheel will be come rear wheel mah

Nowadays there are less cars coming out rear wheel drive due to cost of manufacturing, practicality and least power loss.

Come to think of it, TS didnt mention about RWD, he just ask about rear wheels.

this is interesting....

Mavik.. you really spot on.. I only can think of this..
