I'm a cyclist and I've only had rear wheel drive cycles, though there are front wheel cycles, penny farthings, and 2 wheel drive electric cycles.

I drive hire cars a few weeks of the year, but I haven't any preference between front wheel drive or rear wheel drive, and I don't go off road so I have no use for a 4 wheel drive vehicles, or all wheel drive vehicles.

In icy or wet conditions the front wheel drive vehicles are better, because there is usually more weight over the wheels with the engine etc., and therefore more grip on the road surface.

For a maintenance point of view I would prefer the rear wheel drive vehicles, because there is more access to the engine etc., and therefore easier to replace worn parts.

I prefer rear wheel drive with a selector for 4 wheel drive, like most trucks.

All wheel drive is good, too, but for different purposes.

Pretty much anything but front wheel drive is fine with me.

You ever see them race those long tail riverboats in Thailand?

I like the option for throttle oversteer so give me rear wheel drive.
