In some vehicles, there is two-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive. I was wondering what types of situations would require all-wheel drive.
snow ice rain driving over loose gravel that kind of stuff
all wheel drive cars handle better is all conditions better traction with four wheels pulling than two wheels better is rain better in snow better all around
not much. all wheel drive just gives you a false sence of security. you don't always need all wheel drive. most the time you only need 2 wheel drive. in snow, you'll do fine as long as you have snow tires, whether your car is 2 wheel drive or all wheel drive. same with ice. but there are some situations where the snow would be sooooo deep, that your wheels will get stuck. this is when you'd need awd. but this rarely happens anyways.i would know, i live in canada. other than that, i don't really think that there's any other advantages ON ROAD. lmao!!! someone said loose gravel? you really think you need awd on gravel?!?!?! wow. other than on road, you would probably need AWD when going offroad, but not everyone goes offroad. some high performance race cars have awd because it gives them more traction when cornering and accelerating. but other than that, there's not really a reason for awd other than giving you a false sence of security.
