Are regular cars generally front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

[Levi]

Regular cars are generally front-wheel drive. The design of front-wheel drive vehicles is less expensive than rear-wheel drive vehicles, both in terms of design and assembly. Front-wheel drive cars do not require a rear drive shaft or rear gearbox, resulting in fewer assembly components. Front-wheel drive vehicles are lighter than rear-wheel drive vehicles, which allows for faster acceleration, shorter braking distances due to easier acceleration, and generally better fuel efficiency compared to rear-wheel drive cars. The downside of front-wheel drive is its handling. Since the car's components are relatively concentrated in the front of the body, the rear becomes very light, making the rear wheels prone to losing traction. Additionally, the front axle bears excessive load during acceleration and braking, causing noticeable lift and affecting comfort.
