However, both advantages are in some ways theoretical. Some FWD cars
are not very space efficient, while some RWD cars don't handle that well.
It makes more sense to look for the actual desired characteristic (be it
space efficiency or handling), rather than assuming that FWD or RWD
automatically tells you whether a car has that characteristic.
