Cars that you wished were RWD - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I quite like FWD, when tuned properly and have enough power they can get be quite twitchy up to the point that's it fun. It's just different and i like that.

Though a FWD car with a lazy rear end is kinda boring. Just buy a RWD car then!

That's why I don't think the DC2(R) or the CRX should be RWD. They are brilliant FWD cars and I'd even say they are brilliant because of it.

And Nevermorange said above the Mazda 626... yes, absolutely yes. Would have been a great rwd car.

I still think they should make a special edition RWD STI or WRX. That would be baller.

I'd love to drive a Mk 1 GTI, I get the feeling that's the standard by which fun FWD cars are still measured by, but agreed with the DC2 and CRX, they're good because of the FWD, not in spite of it.

Yeah they're good with it. I just love their soul and character, but I yearn to hang the tail out. The spirit of those cars is so good though. Lots of memories in R's over the years. Also...

Audi TT. I would love that in RWD.

How about a RWD GC8. Also I may be lame, but I really like the styling of the Altima Coupe.

If you have them setup correctly, they'll hang their tail out all day long.

The difference is that it's more terrifying when they do.

To be fair, though, that one is practically rear wheel drive anyways. It sends most of the power to the rear, and it'll hang the tail out with the best of them.

I wish my SRT-4 was RWD. Mainly to help get the power to the ground
