I wish that people are more open minded to front wheel drive cars drifting, I'm sorry that i have to be so objective about this but front wheel drive vehicles CAN drift. This isn't someone's opinion or a judgment on a certain type of car, it is a mathematically provable principle that front wheel drive vehicles CAN drift. The level, angle, and speed of the drift are more dependent on the driver rather than the vehicle and almost any vehicle (with the exception of unicycles) can drift. The slip angle is what determines what a drift is and all vehicles with more than one wheel can achieve a greater slip angle in the rear tires than the front, which is part of the technical, most widely accepted definition of a drift. For more information read the article on my site at
The FWD Debate - The Drift Core as it has more information regarding this topic.
So I'm sorry but saying that front wheel drive vehicles can't drift is like saying gravity doesn't exist. You can believe it all you want but it's been scientifically proven that you're wrong.
