  • Istr that there’s some genetics involved in which way your legs like to bend. I’ve always bent easily in that direction. I can sit in full lotus easily or e.g. sit on in the floor, legs ahead with heels together and bend forward and rest my forehead on my feet. And there’s many stretches that do nothing for me because I run out of motion before anything gets tight. But legs wider apart, I can almost not sit upright at all. I’m not a flexible person over all.

    It’s kind of hard to describe, but anyway. Took me until I was many many years old until a yoga instructor told me it kind of varies from person to person how easy some motions are.

    That’s a very optimistic wording on front engine and traction since it’s actually the worst option. It’s not quite wrong to call it good, as it’s usually good enough.

    Also 4wd is just flat out unnecessary waste except for some extreme condition. I live in the land of ice and snow and 4wd would be nice, but unnecessary, for about one week a year. Rest of the time it’s just weight, cost, and ecological waste. For most passenger cars, it’s a bad compromise.


  • Worst possible space efficiency and somewhat tricky routing. Lots of parts and complexity. But arguably the best performance and balance if you can deal with the cost and mass. Not uncommon, see Lamborghini, Porsche.

    Pretty much obsolete at the top tier, though, since electric motors can trivially distribute the weight and drive even better.
