Why is rear wheel drive better than front wheel drive?

It depends what you want to do. I have a friend who has a custom Mercedes. A group of us met in the pub one Winter’s evening and while we were inside it began to snow. I decided to get going while it was still snowing but as I exited the car park and went back past the pub, I noticed that his car was slipping all over the place. He had to recruit some locals to help him on his way. So in this respect front wheel drive is definitely safer. But if you’re climbing a lot of slopes then you may favour a vehicle with pull in which case the opposite will be more efficient. A car with front wheel drive will still get the job done but it may be a lot slower and you may need a higher gear. And rear wheel drive is for those who like their racers. What would be interesting if manufacturers gave consumers the choice when manufacturing the same model.
