Then you need to be a bit lighter with your right foot before you end up in a ditch. You wouldn't be the first nor would you be the last "new" owner to do so.

I ain't racing around in the wet so should be ok for a bit. Its less lary than my last two rear wheel drive cars but the bald tyres don't help and I'm very wary of them!Just waiting for overtime to go in cos they cost enough!!!

Schtuv Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Had mine for a couple of weeks before it rained. No traction control, but it is 'only' an NA It was interesting going around that roundabout (an empty one, luckily!) sideways after an unexpected kickdown moment ... "Will I hit the signpost, snap the back in and make the exit, or should I just aim for the next exit and hope". I've taken to driving like an old woman at the slightest sign of drizzle, now.
