Top 10 Rear Wheel Drive Cars That Aren't Supercars

Rear wheel drive cars are known for being fun to drive. They are commonly found on sports cars. Here are the top 10 rear wheel drive cars that aren't supercars. All the cars on this list are on the market right now.

1. BMW 228i

BMW 2 Series
By Navigator84
The BMW 228i is BMW's most basic car sold by BMW. It is the revived version of the car that saved BMW, the 2002. The BMW 228i's engine breaks the flat 6 tradition as it is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder that makes 240 horsepower. The BMW 228i is more lightweight than the 3 series, so the handling is better. Not only that, you get a BMW, a legit BMW, for about 30 grand. However, there aren't really any luxury features at base price, but its still a BMW.

2. Mazda MX-5 (Miata)



Mazda MX-5
The Mazda MX-5 (Miata)  is one of the best known roadsters ever as 1 million have already been sold. It is one of the most lightweight sports cars on the market as it weighs about 2300 pounds. The Mazda MX-5 has had a lot of weight losing tricks added on to it. There are now only 4 lug nuts in the wheels instead of 5. There is a manually retractable soft top to lose the weight of the mechanical items involved in operating a power top. Making the weight distribution 50/50 was so important to the engineers of Mazda that they moved the battery to the back.

3. Alfa Romeo 4C

Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a stripped out. 2400 pound, mid-engine symphony. The interior has no glove box, a tiny cup holder that can't really hold your regular sized water bottles, and a leather pouch as your glove box. The Alfa Romeo 4C is a baby supercar because it feels like a supercar, but it doesn't have the power, nor the price to actually be one. Like a proper handmade, mid-engine supercar from Italy, you get all the fun kinks including no rear visibility and awful build quality. However, the sound and the driving experience will make up for the more rough edges of the 4C.


5. Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The Hellcat is called the Hellcat for a very good reason. There is this ridiculous supercharged V8 that makes 707 horsepower. The Hellcat comes with 2 keys. The black key unleashes about 500 horsepower. The red key releases all 707 horsepower. The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is well known for its power. Its power is sent to the rear wheel , which helps it create some ridiculous burnouts.

6. Cheverlot Camaro SS

Cheverlot Camaro SS
The Camaro SS is one of my favorite muscle cars ever. The V8 engine, which makes 455 horsepower, could be found in the Camaro straight from the Corvette. The Camaro is sure one of the meanest cars that I have ever seen. There are tiny windows, the shape, and the lights give it a mean look. The Camaro SS may be one of the most advanced muscle car for its price. There is available magnetic ride control and configurable center display. The configurable display is pretty much the same as Audi's virtual cockpit.

7. Smart Fortwo

Smart Fortwo

I have to put the Smart Fortwo on this list. The old one had a robotic transmission, and you could literally smell your passenger's breath. The new one may be wider but it isn't longer. Smart had to make it wider to pass the Small Overlap Test. The extra width allows you to have a more airy environment. The real reason why I love the Smart Fortwo is the personality. There are so many round surfaces inside including a tachometer that spins around. The dashboard is this cloth surface that feels cool. The are a million color schemes for the Smart Fortwo. You start by choosing the color of the Tridion safety cell. Then you chooses the color of the panels. For the interior, you must choose the color of the dashboard and the seats.

8. Ford Mustang GT

By Sicnag
The Ford Mustang is one of the first muscle cars. When it first came out, it was a hit, and no other competitor from Dodge, nor Chevy could beat the sales of this pony. The Ford Mustang GT is a proper muscle car. The V8 makes 435 horsepower and the Mustang GT hits 60 in about 4 seconds. Not only that, the GT model starts at around 30 grand, so its cheap, unlike German cars with similar power. Because the Mustang is cheap and fast, it is very popular. Last year, it was named the most sold muscle car of the year.

9. Subaru BRZ/ Toyota 86

Subaru BRZ
By Micheal Gil
The Subaru BRZ/ Toyota 86 is a 2700 pound sports car. Though it is under powered and slow, it brings out what a real lightweight sports car is about, cornering. It is lightweight and every time you hit a corner at a fast rate of speed, it eagerly pulls a light drift before it adjusts back into a straight line. The great thing about the BRZ/86 is that if you think that it is too under powered, you could boost it without worrying so much because the engine is quite tough.

10. Lexus IS350

Lexus IS350
By Tokumeigakarionoaoshina
For people who want something quick and reliable, the IS350 is the perfect candidate. The IS350 is the underdog towards the German sports sedans because it isn't as fun to drive. However, the IS350 dominates everywhere else. For starters, it could last longer than your average BMW 3 series so that way headlight repairs won't interfere with winding down mountain roads. The other part is that everything about the IS when it comes to comfort and technology is engineered better. For example, unlike the A4, every time you turn on the car, music won't be blasting. Not only that, the remote touch system may be silly but the interface that it is controlling just seems easier to use as everything is logically placed in a menu unlike have the 4 corners system like the A4 or the "What the Heck is This" system like in the Mercedes Benz C Class.

Top 10 AWD Cars on the Market Right Now

All wheel drive cars are good for traction. Some are just plain old SUVs and others are crazy hot hatches and sports cars. Here are the top 10 AWD cars.

1. Ford Focus RS

Ford Focus RS
By Ford Motor Company
The Ford Focus is the coolest hot hatch ever. There is a turbocharged 4 cylinder that makes 350 horsepower, which is better than its competitor, the Subaru WRX Sti, which only makes 292 horsepower. The Ford Focus RS is ridiculously insane. There is a drift mode that allows the Ford Focus RS to drift like a boss. The are also these sweet Recaro seats that hold you in place while your pulling some sick donuts.

2. Bugatti Chiron

Bugatti Chiron
By Ghoster


I thought that the Veyron was uncool for being ugly and the interior looking low tech and boring. The Chiron fixes everything. First of all, it looks like a real race car, which should be the goal because of the sheer speed this thing is able to achieve. Second of all, the interior looks like Pagani came in and designed it. There is a fancy metal speedometer with menus next to it. There is also beautiful metal and leather everywhere. The Chiron is made by Bugatti, so it obviously has some kind of ridiculous engine, otherwise it isn't a true Bugatti. There is a quad turbo 16 cylinder engine that makes 1500 horsepower. There is an electronic limiter that limits this car to 261 miles per hour so no rich guy kills himself after trying to achieve the top speed. 

3. Porsche 918


Porsche 918
The Porsche 918 is a plug in hybrid, but is is a Porsche too. There is a V8 and 2 electric motors that make a total of 887 horsepower. The Porsche 918 is the perfect hypercar. The exhaust note is right next to your ears and for the car guy addicted with sound, its perfect. The sound may be great, the performance is even greater. 0-60 in this Porsche takes 2.5 seconds according to Road and Track. It is as quick as a Bugatti Veyron, which also took 2.5 seconds when tested by Road and Track. 

4. Tesla Model X P90D

By Christopher Ziemnowicz
The Tesla Model X P90D isn't your average crossover. There are some really cool features. All the doors are electric so they open when you push the buttons on the remote and the giant touchscreen. There are also falcon wing doors that open upwards. Though there are cool features, the performance and electric range is also cool. The P90D has 250 miles of range and 2 electric motors that make a total of 762 horsepower. That's a good amount of power for a crossover that is electric.

5. Lamborghini Aventador

Lamborghini Aventador
The Lamborghini Aventador is so cool that Batman drives one in the Dark Knight Rises. What makes the Aventador so cool. First of all, it has a V12 that cranks out 691 horsepower. That V12 sounds like the Batmobile. Second of all, the styling and the way everything comes together is like a fighter jet. There are scissor doors that go up. There are sharp edges that come together to form something amazing. For the interior, there is a cover on the start button to tell you that this car will be like a missile. The switches for everything make it feel like you are piloting a proper fighter jet.

6. Maserati Ghibli S Q4

Maserati Ghibli
The Maserati Ghibli S Q4 is probably one of the best sport sedans out there, There is a Ferrari V6 giving the Ghibli 404 horsepower. The Ghibli not only looks cool, but there are some Italian touches that just makes this a million times better than your average Mercedes Benz. For example, the leather and the style of the seats is proper luxury. The materials inside feel nice and look great. Though it is a luxury car, there are touches from the FCA that just bother me. The U-connect is the same one as the one found in a 20,000 dollar Dodge Dart and it is an 80,000 dollar Maserati.

7. Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is one of the best and most capable SUVs that you could buy. The size is perfect for offroading. The overhangs and the wheelbase are short, so they will not catch onto the rocks that the Wrangler is climbing up. The are some offroading tools too. There is a locking differential and the option to electronically disconnect  the sway bar. These features are standard on the Rubicon trim.

8. Subaru WRX Sti

Subaru WRX Sti
The Subaru WRX Sti is a rally car that dominates the category along with the now dead Mitsubishi Evo. The Subaru WRX Sti is powered by a 2.5 liter turbocharged engine that makes 305 horsepower. Although it isn't as insane as the Subaru WRX Sti, it still has its benefits. For one thing, it is reliable and holds 57 percent of its value after 5 years of ownership, which is very good. Though the reliabailty and ability to hold its value so well is great, the performance is still better. The WRX Sti is just as fun to drive offroad as it is to driving on the road. That's because of the superior 4 wheel drive system and proper engine for a car of its type.

9. Nissan GTR
Nissan GTR
By Motor Trend
There's a reason why the Nissan GTR is called Godzilla. The Nissan GTR is one of the least expensive and advanced Japanese supercars on the market right now. There is a twin turbocharged V6 that makes 570 horsepower. When Nissan lets their supercar engineers have some air, they fly. The Nissan GTR can hit 60 in 2.9 seconds, which is insane for a hundred grand supercar. 

10. Ram Rebel

Rus793
The Ram Rebel has got to be one of the coolest trucks ever. It is designed to go offroad and compete against the Ford F150 FX4. What makes the Ram Rebel so much cooler than the F150 FX4 is the design. There is this ridiculous grill on the front that spells Ram in big letters. The carpets on the interior have a tire tread pattern. The seats also have a tire tread pattern integrated into the design.
