Advantages laying machine in the middle is the uneven distribution of weight distribution. Heaviest component in the car is placed as close as possible to the center of the vehicle, thus reducing the moment of inertia of the vehicle, so the control, traction, and ride quality when turning, braking, and acceleration could be better by itself.

Laying in the middle of the machine to give an extra burden to the rear wheels, so traksinya increases. This reduces the possibility of rear tires locked up and reduce the chance of slippage adalnya. If the middle-engined cars also use a rear-wheel drive, so it can improve acceleration on slippery roads. Laying It also makes ABS brakes and traction control systems work better. This engine also adds to the safety car, because if such a crash, there is a gap between the engine and the car bumper to absorb the impact so that the possible effects of a collision up to the passenger cabin is smaller.
