Given you've only owned one car I'm not sure what you're basing that claim off, but it's just not true.

The VE has a lot of electronic wizardry in, like TC/ESC, which takes a lot of the human variability out of the equation and levels the playing field considerably, so the VE might now be such a bad car for new drivers as the older models were. All that said the fact still stands that power understeer, as you'd have in a FWD is a much easier situation to correct than power oversteer.

Go find yourself an Excel and a VN Commodore, give each one a flog around a sharp corner in the rain and you'll quickly change your tune.

As for safety features - like what? A Corolla hatch has a better ANCAP rating than your SV6.

umm heres an idea.. dont drive like a maniac wen its raining? seems smart to me, whether ur in an sv6 or a ford ka
