Red_s2k - WRX is four wheel drive, but that is not where it's origins come from. The WRX is based on a very 'average' car called Subaru Impreza. It's a 'nice' front wheel drive budget sedan that competes with Toyota Corolla. Granted that the WRX and an Impreza are way appart and that the WRX is a car that the Impreza could never be, but noneless it still feels like a front-wheel drive and it handles like one (though one with more grip).

Though, WRX is fast ... there's no denying that ... it's just not what I'd call a 'sportscar' or a 'handling' car.

ps. A lot of 4WD cars feel like front-wheel drive. You have to get a car like Evo, GTR, Carerra4 or Diablo to get a 4WD that actually has RWD characteristics.
