so for those of you that dont see the major flaw with FWD cars just take the red pill and wake up to reality.
i dont mean to put anyones car down, they're great cars but you should be open minded and be able to take unbiased criticism
I don't think the problem is being open minded as I'm not biased towards one platform. I agree with what your saying in that a RWD setup has less cons that a FWD. But regardless of what the platform is there's pro's and con's to each. It has been tried and proven that a front wheel drive car can be a "sports" car and sell (look at the cult status behind cars like GTI Golf, Type R, Clio etc) Are they bad cars? no, would they be better with RWD layout, Probably. My point being that FWD cars have there own charactistics that some people enjoy. And when mastered a FWD car can be a lot of fun to drive. If a car is fun to drive i dont see the wrong wheels turning as a flaw. I don't think what you were saying is criticism, more or less an opinion.
