As long as all aides are turned on and you aren't driving like an idiot, you should be fine.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I will surely test that car before buying so I will see. Just wanted to know if you have to fight this car with every tight corner. If "driving like an idiot" doesn't mean "anything over 40 km/h" than it sounds fine. Are aides aggressive in this one? Mine Lancer X has very aggressive aides (ASC is like "fuck I'm not going anywhere if it's raining") but in Impreza I almost didn't notice anything even in snow.

If you drive the car at a reasonable speed for the road and don't mash the gas you won't have to worry about unexpected oversteer. For me, the beauty of the Twins is that they are controllable, allowing you to approach RWD driving dynamics at your own pace and at your comfort level.
If you drive a Twin like a regular car you won't need to worry about oversteering or drifting, but as you grow more confident, comfortable and interested it will allow you to explore that, unlike FWD or most AWD cars.

I drove Focus ST 2013 and damn that torque steer has been killing me. I understand that someone likes that (and I also like hot hatches) but that's exactly what I don't want to - fight with my own car with every faster corner. Active driver control is absolutely fine - that's what I want - but with the limits. I would like to be alive
