I was under the impression that the Altezza was a rear wheel drive car but after spinning the wheels a little pulling away on some gravel I'm a little confused. It was the front wheels that slipped a bit as I was reversing at the time. Have I got it completely wrong here?

Yes

Yep def rear wheel drive

the front wheels may have slipped on gravel. but they certainly wouldn`t "SPIN".

is this a Wah!

I'll check again when I get the chance this weekend. When I picked the car up from the importer I mentioned that Tezzas were rear wheel drive but he seemed sure that this was front wheel drive. Since then, the more I have driven it the less sure I am. I owned an MR2 turbo which is RWD, before the Altezza and the power delivery is different.

Check the badge, he may have sold you a Vectra with an Altezza grille

are you being serious............u will check again...whats there to check, this is a Wah for sure


FFS they do not make front wheel drive altezzas....well apart from the 4wd Gita, but thats using the sportscross chassis and is 4wd

simple way to check mate, involves full lock, 5000rpm, dumping the clutch, private land, should answer any doubts and attract a crowd.

is this a honest question???really?? these cars are a 100000000000000% rear wheel drive.

had an is200 was rear wheel drive and am looking for an altezza all the research says rwd. if not sure look at the engine, this applies to nearly all cars if it across the engine bay then its fwd if its lenghtways in the engine then its rwd or awd, as i said this will apply to nearly all cars.

its **** rear wheel drive, Simple as that..... theres nothing to check...so save a few mins of your life and do something else far more important

as above this topic is a wast of time.and also stupid.

Mines a front wheel drive on my sig lol

pmsl big time!!
