Who's winning: Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?

So far, Front-Wheel Drive has 47% and Rear-Wheel Drive has 53% of 6,970 votes cast — Rear-Wheel Drive is currently ahead.

Front-wheel drive packs the powertrain up front for better traction in rain and snow, more interior room, and lower cost, making it the everyday-car default. Rear-wheel drive splits the work between axles for balanced handling and the dynamic feel enthusiasts and sports cars crave. Practical grip or driving balance?
