That's a very optimistic wording on front engine and traction since it's actually the worst option. It's not quite wrong to call it good, as it's usually good enough.
Also 4wd is just flat out unnecessary waste except for some extreme condition. I live in the land of ice and snow and 4wd would be nice, but unnecessary, for about one week a year. Rest of the time it's just weight, cost, and ecological waste. For most passenger cars, it's a bad compromise.
That is interesting!
I'd have expected that adding weight on the axle that has drive would improve traction (but affect steering negatively)
Also i guess that the answer does not take into account who uses the car or when. I guess in racing, awd would be awesome if it wasn't too heavy, complicated and used a lot of fuel
