It makes everything easier. But is it worth it? Watch this video till the end to find out, and by the way, if it's your first time here and you would like to learn more about cars, then you should consider subscribing. FWD cars tend to understeer. RWD cars tend to oversteer and AWD theoretically speaking has a neutral behaviour. Just in theory. In reality it oversteers or understeers a bit, depending how the AWD system is designed. For example, in an Audi A3 with Quattro Haldex, the car uses the front axle for most of the traction. When needed, the rear axle comes to help, so the A3 will have an understeering behaviour. On FWD cars, you can't have more than 300hp and you can't make a car accelerate faster than 5 seconds. It's just... physics and a lot of wheel spin. In RWD cars we can have up to 600hp and acceleration is a little better. There are some exceptions though, like the Dodge Challenger Demon with 840HP which accelerates in 2 seconds, but that car is specifically designed for drag racing. AWD is the fastest. That's why Bugatti has put 1500HP on the Chiron. So, as a quick summary, having AWD will help you accelerate faster, especially in extreme weather conditions, lateral acceleration is improved, and the overall handling of the car is better. There are a few downsides though - the AWD system is more complex, it needs proper maintenance, fuel consumption increases, and it makes the car heavier. So, as a whole, to own an AWD car will cost you... another 3L for every 100km. So around 400 euros if you live in Europe and slightly less if you live in another region where gas is cheaper.
