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. rclxub.gif

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 icon_idea.gif 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. icon_rolleyes.gif
