why are 240s most commonly used to drift?

[TIM TIM TIM]

im not much of a drifter altho i think its an awesome way of driving, but why are 240's so popular with drifters ?

(deepbreath)

cheap and readily available fr with reliable torquey engines with good suspension design and tons of aftermarket support.

its rwd, its light, its cheap, all wheel independent suspension, and the weight distribution is very nice.

[neurovish]

...it's also super easy to find them in decent condition without getting ripped off

...which it looks like mike already mentioned

[J-Dizzle]

strong KA motor, SR'S on request, very easy to maintain in my case....rwd helps the cause:lol: its just the latest bandwagon after the whole honda thing, everybody wants one cause everybody has one

and even a stock 240 makes you look like a god in the rain. the most fun you could ever have is a bone stock 240 and a nice trickey black top parking lot. hours of fun!

most common aspect amongst definitions of "drifting" would be "sideways before the apex"

Hatchback that is

[creophus]

I'd say its the FR and the price tag. Hard to find another car with the same configuration for that price.
