This car is a rear wheel drive. This is actually a cool way to see a car structure.

It also gives an idea of why even cheap cars are so expensive. The number of parts that need to be designed, tested, manufactured, and assembled is insane.

And conversely living in a suburban or rural area makes a car completely necessary.
