What is front-wheel drive vs. rear-wheel drive?
Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive describe two different types of drivetrains. In most cars, only two of the wheels actually receive power from the engine. Front-wheel drive vehicles have the front wheels driven by the engine, and rear-wheel drive cars use the rear pair.
They drive slightly differently. Usually, front-wheel drive vehicles have better traction. The front end of cars, trucks, and SUVs is heavier because that is where the engine is located, and that extra weight pressing down on the driven wheels means more grip. On the other hand, rear-wheel drive cars have better handling for corners Some cars have all-wheel drive, where all four wheels get power from the engine. It's a good idea to make sure you know what kind of drivetrain you will have anytime you are considering ge...

Deciding Whether Refinancing vs. Trading Is the Right Choice
After searching for the right vehicle, it feels great to find one that you love. Yet, you can later realize that you can’t afford the payments each month.
