1. 2 wheels Two wheels receive engine power. Sprockets can be again (with rear-or front wheels (front wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive is optimal for performance driving for a quick response, but no fun on roads covered with ice, as the brave, but slippery Infiniti G37 Journey RWD sailed during a blizzard.

2. All-Wheel Drive A ll four wheels of a vehicle can receive at all times, which is ideal for winter weather and slippery, as is the case with the sporty Volvo S60. The system locks the axles and automatically distributes power to all four of wheels.This system consumes more energy and can adversely affect fuel economy.

3. 4 wheel drive, most of which will hear about drive 4-wheel vehicles that are intended for heavy towing and off-roading. The difference is that the driver can switch between the settings. In part-time 4WD, this means that some of the time the car turns on only two wheels, then the workload, the more wheel-spin control is necessary. Full-time 4WD, the driver can switch between high and low settings 4WD, making it the best to drive robust. Think Grand Cherokee.

4. Anti-lock Braking System Why do you care about anti-lock brakes? It is a security question.When brake hard and fast, the wheels may panic with you and freezing, but not with anti-lock brakes.

7. Moonroo f This is a fancy term for a sunroof used in the Subaru Forester. It has a whimsical ring to it, right?

8. One touch engine starting an antenna on the car body detects a radio pulse generator in the housing of the key, and voila, the car has power.
