??? You have never understeered in a FWD car??? You just not driving hard enough!!



Probably due to a few things:

My car is just that billiant. Very Happy

Or/and, I know to take it easy in the wet and pretend I'm driving on ice.

As for going around corners, it's all about maintaining a constant speed, (make sure you are going the correct speed as you enter the corner, not during the corner), and going the shortest route. It's faster to go in straight lines to and from the apex than to do a curve. Just put a right angle on top of a circle, and that's the shortest route to drive. Single lane roundabouts are great for practising this.

I think it's just what you're used too. I used to always drive a fwd and found it odd when I went to RWD, but then when I swap back it's weird.


Why do people say this?

I can quite comfortably jump into either FWD or RWD cars and drive them.

Before I got my current car, my previous car was a RWD corolla, and I felt no strangness going from it to my current FWD car. Just get in and go. Smile

Quote:

Cabin space is also more as well since there is no need for a driveshaft and rear diff.


Actually, I don't really find that true that much.

I've still got the space that the center console takes up whether there's a gearbox under it or not, plus I still have the "hump" in the center rear from a tunnel that is now used for the exhaust pipe instead of a drive shaft.
