even though the frs is low power and well balanced. being RWD gives it the potential to catch you off guard if you're used to driving a certain way.
So, so true. I was used to the Si in how I drove. Now with the FRS I have a lot less body roll and feel more confident in turns. However, it's not as "fool proof" and I've already learned a few lessons the hard way (but nothing wreck worthy).

Also, to the person who said "don't do a hard second shift in a turn from a dead stop" -- yes, don't. The car WILL balance it out but it will get squirrelly for a bit.
