For mid-engine RWD vehicles, their advantages include better handling stability and high engine transmission efficiency. However, the disadvantages are that the powertrain occupies part of the cabin and luggage compartment space, thus reducing ride comfort. Furthermore, the sound insulation and heat insulation for the engine are not very good. It should be noted that this drivetrain layout is widely adopted in some high-performance sports cars and Formula racing cars.
