I'm always amazed how people think RWD is something that normal people can't drive.

I remember seeing Modo announce they got a Firestorm FR-S 6AT a while back. I saw that same FR-S driving around UBC once and thought, yeah that won't last long. It's not particularly a fancy or fast car but... when Modo introduces it as a exciting sports car in their fleet, especially to the likes of a car co-op user (most likely don't have as much experience with cars or parking (but I won't get into that)). It's not the idea that a RWD is impossible to handle unless you track day bro 24/7, but its easier to get into trouble with than a Ford Fiesta from Modo. My parents Lexus CT200h, full throttle nothing happens. My RWD SUV? Full throttle and the rear tires spin with the TC light flashing.

lol jk, I only have flappy paddles, don't need to worry about a clutch so that means 2 things:

1) I'm not a real enthusiast
2) I'm a hazard on the road because I don't have the same amount of control over my car compared to having a clutch.

Well that is common knowledge and goes without saying. How can you possibly feel the car I mean really come on man.

While dismissing all the pickup trucks on the road which, unless loaded, are MUCH more tail happy than any sports car.

Whenever I need a truck, I usually borrow my dad's Dakota. 2WD and no traction control. Almost always kills me because I'm not used to tail happy nature at low speeds.

And before anyone says "but 4WD bro!" How many truck owners drive around in 4 by all the time? Answer: none.
