Ah, this is the kind of information I have been wanting to hear. I have very little FWD driving experience so I dont really know how it handles. So that's basically +1 for FWD. A typical driver SHOULD by instance just let off the gas to correct their understeer.

...and this topic is about skills, not about convenience/easiness. That's the point of the thread.
I see that FWD cars are the EASIEST cars for all drivers, its safe and really simple to handle; but as car enthusiasts here, do we care about easiness?
