That's a very broad question. Generally, the general pubic is better off with FWD because of it's predictable characteristics. RWD is more for performance and results in very different driving dynamics. As far as safety its AWD>FWD>RWD. That doesn't mean FWD is better. Its just easier for most drivers who have no more than the average level of driving skill.
It sounds like you are a first time driver. Take them both out on a spin and no matter which you decide, take a beginning/intermediate handling school. BMW has one just for teens that is highly rated. Its more than just the boring stuff they make you do in Drivers Training, but still with an emphasis on control and safety. I wish I had taken it back when I was a first timer. It would have probably saved me from two accidents, one where I did a 360 and one where I just lost control on a wet road. |
Yeah, especially if you're into chicks and not dudes your "pubic" will be happier with FWD and not having all the power in the rear.
Hahaha, sorry epic auto correct fail. And I have the sense of humor of a child.
