OK if you are well used to FWD then maybe I can see it. But I started my driving years with: 2.0 Capri (x2), Triumph Herald & Mini 1275 GT. I never really had a problem handling any of these despite 'enthusiastic' driving and indifferent maintenance. Now I don't class myself as a super-skilled driver
- god knows I sure wasn't back then 
- so I really don't see why anyone should find RWD a particular problem if going straight to it.
