5 Reasons Why You Should NOT Get a Rear-Wheel-Drive Car

# **Basic Information**

**5 Reasons Why You Should NOT Get a Rear-Wheel-Drive Car** is the sixty-eighth (68th) video on the Master Raney YouTube channel. Master Raney discusses five disadvantages of driving a RWD vehicle.

# **Plot**

Master Raney wonders if anyone watching the video drives a Rear-Wheel-Drive car, asks them what they like about them, wondering if it's the acceleration, lower maintenance prices, better towing, or anything that he asks to be written in the comment section of the video. Master Raney states that RWD cars may be fun to drive, according to some of their drivers, but they also have the downsides that everyone should be aware of, which he points out that they are why RWD's are not for everyone. As Master Raney puts the reasoning explanations into play, he starts off with the major disadvantage, the performance in bad weather. Master Raney advises Rear-Wheel Drivers that they must check to see if the roads are dry before they start driving, otherwise don't get a RWD vehicle, but instead a Front-Wheel-Drive or something apart from RWD, especially if you or your workplace doesn't care about slick roads. Master Raney warns that if you drive a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle in slick roads, your vehicle will likely lose traction and will risk you an accident, thus advises you a FWD vehicle instead. Master Raney moves onto Disadvantage #2, the price. Master Raney tells the audience to expect to spend $25,000 on a regular car or $35,000+ on an SUV, assuming it's a Rear-Wheel-Drive. Master Raney points out that Rear-Wheel vehicles are used for racing. Master Raney advises those who can't afford to buy a Rear-Wheel-Drive or if the type of vehicle isn't in their budget to reconsider, advising them to start off with a Front-Wheel-Drive and then later buy a Rear-Wheel-Drive as soon as they have enough money up to their budget. Master Raney moves onto Disadvantage #3, Less Interior Space, which he points out that the engine may be located anywhere, including the back, taking up enough room in your trunk in some vehicles. Master Raney also points out that RWD's don't have as much leg room as other cars due to the room needed for the transmission tunnel and the driveshaft in the car. Master Raney warns those who may be claustrophobic enough to think that it's not enough room for them that the RWD vehicles are not suitable for them. Master Raney moves onto Disadvantage #4, the fuel efficiency. Master Raney points out that the high-performing RWD's require more fuel and that the power given to the rear wheels to push onto the front wheels uses more fuel than the FWD cars. Master Raney advises professional travelers, like Uber and Lyft drivers for examples, to get a Front-Wheel-Drive instead of a Rear-Wheel-Drive for that matter. Master Raney moves onto the final disadvantage (within the video), the risk of oversteer. Master Raney points out that the vehicle's acceleration puts the vehicle at risk of oversteer when approaching something like a sharp curve, even if you raise your foot off the gas or apply the brake too late. Master Raney states that the powered back wheels will be affected by the vehicle's reaction if it's a Rear-Wheel-Drive. Master Raney advises those without any idea on how to fight off oversteering to not get a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle. Coming close to the denouement of the video, Master Raney advises consumers planning on buying or getting a Rear-Wheel-Drive to be aware of the disadvantages that he listed throughout the video and the possibilities of encountering them. Master Raney asks for any more reasons not to get a RWD vehicle if any and asks them to be written in the comment section. Master Raney points out that most of the reasons encourage a FWD instead, but some other reasons may ask you to either get a 4WD or AWD, which Master Raney, breaking the fourth wall, tells the audience which drivetrain his creator drives, which happens to NOT be a Rear-Wheel-Drive. While Master Raney concludes the video, he asks if anyone who drives a Rear-Wheel-Drive is a racer.

* Raney Kleiner happens to be in an area where slick roads happen periodically, which happens to include snowy roads at times, but has a job that doesn't care if the roads are slick in any way possible, so he doesn't drive a Rear-Wheel-Drive for such a matter
* This video was only public for 2 days, but got unlisted due to various people commenting disapproval in the comment section against the topic, which shows that it wasn't a good topic according to that audience, so if you miss the video, you can click here to view for compensation
