Why do most cars have engines in the front? We pick 5 possible reasons
We pick five main reasons for why most cars have engines in the front?

Having the entire engine-transmission-drive-cooling package in the front saves on assembly and production costs. The transmission box is directly attached to the engine and it operated manually by a lever mechanism.
