With front-wheel drive vehicles, you get more fuel efficiency and lower costs overall. However, you suffer on power and handling. This is because your transmission only sends power to the front wheels, which pulls your car forward. However, in a rear-wheel drive configuration, power is sent to the rear differential, which causes your car to push forward. Most sports cars and power-hungry vehicles need rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive to accelerate fast and tow large trailers.
