going from a FWD to a RWD 335IS 2011..ANY TIPS ON WHAT I SHOULD BECAREFUL ON

GiovanniE90 · 05-10-2011, 11:13 AM

I've pretty much have been driving a Toyota Solara 2000 FWD car and finally got my hands on 2011 335IS

NOW I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT, I PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO BE EXPECTING ON "RWD" CAR

CAN I STILL TAKE TURNS THE WAY I USE TO DO WITH A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR..

UGH.. I'M EXCITED BUT ALSO LOST ABOUT HOW MY DRIVING IS GOING TO BE?

THANKS GUYS

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK OUT FOR?

Why don't you just drive it and find out?

1. Don't use caps lock
2. This is the all-wheel drive section so probably not the best place to ask about rear wheel drive
3. Drive it. Not much else advice we can give you

Should you really be driving a 335is? Oh well, GL.

I'm going to hell for saying this, but this car will be out of commission by the end of the year.

And for fun, here is a funny chatlog quote I remember whenever I see someone typing in caps:

Quote:

<Khassaki> HI EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!
<Judge-Mental> try pressing the the Caps Lock key
<Khassaki> O THANKS!!! ITS SO MUCH EASIER TO WRITE NOW!!!!!!!
<Judge-Mental> fuck me

Not if you run dedicated winter tires.....

OP, the back end will fish tail out if you drive the 335is like a FWD car.

Take the car to an open parking lot or a track and practice. Start out slow, pick up the pace as you learn how the car reacts.

well most peoples concerns with RWD rather than FWD is that to go forward you need to put it in reverse and vice versa. In neutral you can now rev it really hard at red lights and in park u can totally stomp on it. Also, I dont recommend you use your high beams. Good luck with everything hope this helps.
