Hyundai uses a system on the Santa Fe where it is FWD most of the time and only sends power to the rear wheels when the fronts start to slip.

Lamborghini uses a system where it is RWD most of the time and only sends power to the front wheels when the rears start to slip.

I think any system that can suddenly engage certain wheels or violently shift power front/rear can make for unpredictable handling.
