  abstract: 'This study compares front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), and all-wheel drive (AWD) systems to determine which offers the most balanced combination of performance, safety, and fuel efficiency for the average driver. Existing research highlights clear trade-offs between efficiency, traction, and handling across drivetrain types. By analyzing peer-reviewed engineering studies, safety reports, and consumer data, this project evaluates how each system performs in real-world driving conditions. The findings suggest that drivetrain selection depends largely on driver priorities and environment.'
