My arguement is "different" not "better" or "worse".

We agree that they both "handle", and that this handling is "different".
Of that there is no doubt.

You know the old adage, that when you lose control with one around a curve,
the main difference is which quarterpanel hits the guard rail - the front
or the rear.

I drive both and am comfortable with both.

I hate the feel of FWD when you press the accelerator in a curve, as it
takes the steering out of your hands (at least it does in rental cars).


torque steer on FWD vehicles is basicvally a non-issue today - and was
not a problen on the renault or the Peugeot either. A wee bit on the
Mini - but torque on the mini was basicaslly only in your imagination
anyway. The only car I've ever driven that was faster in 3rd than
in4th - if that tells you anything!!

If you love FWD, I'm happy for you.
I'm not going to change your mind.
