RWD, FWD, AWD, and 4WD demystified!

Rear-wheel drive (RWD) cars have the back wheels pushing the car along. Most race cars have RWD because the driver can still steer if the wheels break loose and, in straight acceleration, a car tilts back, giving more traction to the rear wheels.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) cars have the front wheels pulling the car along. Front wheel drive cars are safer to drive in the snow and rain than rear wheel drive cars because there is more weight over the drive wheels, offering better traction. They also typically get better fuel economy.

Four-wheel drive (4WD) cars are different from all wheel drive (AWD) in that four wheel drive is an option from rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive drives all wheels on all surfaces continuously. Four-wheel drive (low mode) offers significant off road driving capability.

Remember to support the cause this month!


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it's difficult to say just how many untold millions of people have been affected in some way by cancer.  Breast cancer, one of the most common forms of cancer in women, is particularly debilitating in ways that most of us can scarcely imagine.  We here at Huston Cadillac Buick GMC want to offer our thoughts and prayers to the folks who have dealt--or are currently dealing with--this terrible disease.  We truly hope that a cure is not far over the horizon.

If you'd like to find out more about Breast Cancer research and work toward a cure, please visit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
