They can be rear-wheel drive (RWD) or more commonly front-wheel drive (FWD). Two-wheel drive vehicles are lighter and more fuel-efficient, because the engine isn’t powering all four wheels at once and the...
FWD vs. AWD The difference between Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is the distribution of power. For FWD, power is sent to the front wheels of the vehicle, resulting in better fuel economy. AWD vehicles give power to all wheels of the car. This creates better weight...
The difference between all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) is a topic of confusion for many car, truck, and SUV buyers. Both systems send power to the wheels where traction is needed most. But if you find yourself wondering which is better, AWD or 4WD, these guidelines ma...
Winter tires can still make all the difference, though. One reason: many 4WD systems are “part-time” and require the driver to activate them (versus AWD’s “always-on” status). Activating a 4WD system may help you get out of a tough spot once you’re in one, but winter tires ca...
AWD vs. 4WD The difference between an all-wheel drive and a four-wheel-drive vehicle can make or break your ability to shred backcountry roads or drive safely in harsh winter conditions. Understanding the benefits and challenges of each is essential when looking to purchase your next ride....
The last noticeable difference is the addition of a rear differential – which is the whole goal of the project – so that is a good thing! That said, the OEM spare tire location in the MS3 will interfere with the fitment of the differential. Not an issue for Racecar and my Sawzall!

While you can start out with a base FWD Altima for an asking price of about $24k (I assume street price would be less), and you could load the fanciest one up to just over $36,000, this particular one (an SV with AWD) starts at $29,230 plus $895 in dest...
The old system yielded a 2 mpg penalty on the EPA. The new is 3mpg. The new LE is close to the old Eco in rating, and even the AWD is better rated than the old FWD non-Eco. It's a 4% reduction for the old vs 5% to 6% for the new. ...
The new LE is close to the old Eco in rating, and even the AWD is better rated than the old FWD non-Eco. It's a 4% reduction for the old vs 5% to 6% for the new. The car saw a gain even with a more powerful engine because of the switch from port to direct/port injection....
