Which is better 4WD or AWD?
4WD is better in my opinion. I'f you don't know the difference it is that 4WD is were you have the option of engaging the 4WD feature whenever. AWD is common among more luxuriated "off road vehicles" and when the tires lose traction a computer within the vehicle will activate the AWD feature to re-gain traction.
What is the difference between 4WD and AWD?
AWD is using all of the wheels on the car 4WD is selected and not used all the time, only when your driving in dirt or snow so basically hard terrain

Are Audi quattros AWD or 4WD systems?
Audi quattros are an AWD system. There is a predesignated split usually 60/40 front/rear. It is a lighter system weight wise than 4WD. AWD is intended for slipery conditions, not severe off raod use.
Difference between AWD and 4WD?
Part-time 4WD is the original 4WD system and the most basic. As with Full time 4WD there are several options available to the driver. In normal conditions the vehicle is driven in two-wheel drive, usually powering only the rear wheels. 4WD mode can be selected either by a separate mechanical lever or by an electronic switching system AWD systems also lack the 'low range' feature which is common in most 4WDs. The AWD system is less effective and more fragile than the 4WD system in a situation where high torque is required. Indeed, the viscous coupling units simply cannot satisfy high torque demands when the vehicle is offroad. AWD vehicles tend to be more 'car' like than obvious offroaders.
How much would it cost to make your 91' eagle talon fwd into a awd?
If they made the 1991 Talon in a 4wd model and you can get a donor car, then the price would be what the donor car cost plus hours of hard work. If they did not make this model in 4wd, the cost would be more astronomical. Add on They did make an awd 91 but you are looking into something that is nearly impossible. If you have the ability to put a fwd next to a awd you will see that the fwd isn't made to be a awd. Theres more trunk space in the fwd meaning you would need to modify a lot. If someone can prove me wrong then correct me.
What AWD or 4WD vehicle has the best gas mileage?
This question is very dependent on what part of the world you are in. In my neck of the woods All the major manufacturers have a good fuel economy car available in AWD Dodge Caliber for example. And I doubt it is available in the UK for instance.
What is the difference between 2wd and 4wd?
The difference is that a 2wd car will only have two of the four wheels supplied with power to drive, either front wheel drive or rear wheel drive.A car with 4wd will have power supplied to all four wheels, giving it better driving abilities in wet or slick conditions. You can check out the car maker's site to see if the model you are interested in is 2 or 4 wheel drive, or check out a site like driverside.com or car and driver to see if it's an older car and you're not sure. In the USA, Subaru makes all of their cars with 4WD (AWD).
Why would four wheel drive engage but then not disengage?
If you're in 4WD low, then the vehicle needs to be put in neutral before you can switch it back to 4WD HIGH or AWD.
How do you know whether a car is fwd or rwd in nfsmw?
This is easy, press handbrake(rear tyre brake) and accelerate: 1.)if the front tyres start spinning, then the car is fwd. 2.)If the car is rwd, then the wheels will not spin. 3.)if the car is awd or 4wd, then car rpm will stay at 2000-2500rpm
