This also saves money in the form of fewer fill ups at the pump.

Before heading to the dealership to buy a new car, there are some things that you may want to consider beforehand which will aid the sales staff in guiding you to the right purchase. Among these is whether you want an FWD (Front Wheel Drive) or RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) vehicle. Each type has its own distinct pros and cons.

RWD vehicles have 2 particular benefits. The first is that they are rugged, which allows them to endure a pounding without suffering damage. They also are better balanced, which results in better handling for their drivers.
