F - Four-wheel drive
05 June 2006
Four-wheel drive - Cars which use the engine to drive all four wheels are described as having a four-wheel-drive transmission. This gives better traction in slippery conditions and is essential for off-roaders. However, it adds to the car's weight and increases fuel consumption compared to an equivalent two-wheel-drive car.
