RWD advice
Ok, here's the thing. This is my first ever RWD car. In fact I used to drive a focus before this. I know or been told that RWD cars are some times a pain cause you can easly loose control. How true is that? Ever since I got the car, this past Friday, I've been afraid to take turns too sharp or too fast and for the most part I've been driving like my grandma. Am I over-reacting or is this something I should worry about?

People telling you to worry or not to worry won't help... you have to "learn" the car for yourself, and know your limits along with the car's limits. That said, I suggest you go to an autoX event and find out. You don't have to go all out, but push it enough to find your "comfort zone" with the car. Or at least find a big empty parking lot one night. my 2 cents.

RWDs are very different than FWDs need less to say. When cornering, try not to gas it like when driving a FWDs, gas it when your front tires are straight. That gives you less chance to drift or slip. Just remember, you are "pushing" your car from the rear, instead of "pulling" from the front like the FWDs.
