Anyway, RWD is deadly.
I just find it difficult to find an affordable new rear wheel drive you can use 12 months / year. It is close to MB / BMW that are your options. I never had a problem with my E46 (see where Finland is located in the map ). The DSC is very advanced and even without... With manual you have a lot better control of what will happen and is going on.
