POLL: What Drivetrain Layout in the car that you *own*? - Page 3

My past 2 cars have been RWD and I will never go back to FWD... rear-bias AWD sure, but never FWD.

1 awd = 03 audi a4
2 rwd = brother's 06 330i and mom's 07 cl550
1 fwd = 98 nissan quest <-- my favorite

Was that a quote from Caroll Shelby?

Not that I know of, I just honestly just made it up. Considering he is Mustang pusher it is possible.

I drive my parents's Seat Arosa and Seat Alhambra. Both are FWD.

Golf V, 2.0TDI - FWD
BMW 535d - RWD

Very soon, i'll merge those two in one - X5 - 4x4

Thanks for all the votes folks. 37 votes isn't quite a runaway success in terms of volumes but it's a start...

It's interesting to see that it's the regular clan that are participating... I'm amazed at how much passion you have.

To the rest of you - please vote and please do so honestly.

On another note I'm astonished to see the results sitting neck and neck between FWD and RWD. This is an interestingly different result compared to the statistics of overall automotive sales - where the majority of cars sold are FWD (at least here in SA, the UK, Japan and Europe).

I don't know about Australia - I expect that sales of Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons gain back some ground on the FWD sales - and as for the US, again I'm unsure...

Still, I do find this a fascinating topic and I'd love to see meaningful stats (both global and local as well as GCZ specific) for comparative purposes.
