[QUOTE="Zeroed, post: 4529340, member: 98"] Hi guys. I'm considering to purchase a SW20 N/A and it will be driven daily. I have heard some concerns about the SW20's handling and safety, especially in the wet. Are they really prone to snap oversteer and difficult to drive? I have some experience in fast driving and know the basics of lift-off oversteer, weight transfer, not braking hard when the rear end goes loose etc etc, but I'm no drift king and will probably make a mistake during panic like most people. I have driven cars to their limits but they are mostly quite forgiving FWD cars (except for an EK9 convert, which was twitchy for a FWD) I intend to take good care of the car with tires, alignment etc and perhaps change its sub-frame to the later version's to make the handling milder. I am generally responsible but I enjoy fast driving occassionally hence my concerns. Experienced owners, what are your takes on the SW20's handling? Especially in the wet. I wonder about its crash safety too btw. Thanks and cheers. [/QUOTE]
