Why FWD Matters for Acceleration in Forza Horizon 6
Front-Wheel Drive pulls the car from the front axle, creating inherent stability and predictable understeer. For acceleration, FWD cars often punch above their weight in lower PI classes. They're forgiving for new drivers and competitive in hot hatch and rally events.

At just 14,000 CR, the 2010 Renault Megane Rs 250 delivers a 4.8 acceleration rating — making it the most affordable FWD option in our top 10.
