because its more space efficient

THen why not make the cars rear engined, like the MR2 or that new Twingo?

FWD is by design more economical, gives you more legspace for the rear seats and deeper bootspace, aswell as being generally better in winter-conditions due to more weight on the powered wheels

Still, I prefer RWD to FWD as a DD due to better tight-turning capability and simplicity

Naw nigga, look at this shit mang. I mean, Saab had their engine like in a RWD car, they were longitudinal.

>>14223991
Yes but I thought the original complaint was having to take shit apart to access stuff. I don't have that problem with my Scirocco.

If a rear engine twingo is considered godly but it's maintenance is a bitch, is it really a godly car? I've seen more room to work on things in a laptop.

How do I change the spark plugs?
>drop the engine
Oil change?
>drop the engine
Replace the air filter?
>drop the transmission
Belts?
>dismantle the rear of the car
Rear wheels

FF is naturally stable, which is more important than being sporty.

The problem with packed engine bays has zero to to with engine configuration, case in point, the FR 300 ZX twin turbo. It just happens that the less space you leave for the engine bay, the more space you'll have for the occupants and/or to make the car smaller.

And to show you that transverse FF can have loads of space and easy acess on the engine bay, here's an example from a 70's peugeot 204.

While I agree to an extent, this is cherry picking

Considering BMW found a way to utterly occupy an engine bay from an FR inline six, not really. It's really all about the design chosen.

What doesn't count as cherrypicking then? Another spacious FF engine bay btw.
