BYEBYE FWD! HELLO RWD!
Hi Guys and Gals,
Finally got an 05 Sebring S! I'm excited and scared about what RWD can bring, I've never really experienced a RWD car's dynamics before such as oversteer. I'm used to driving my Civic Si which has a greater tendency to understeer before it will oversteer. For now i'm driving it like a Grandma until I become more comfortable with a RWD car, hopefully autocrossing it will help me gain that skill. Better to hit cones then concrete hehe

Congrats on the new car.
...you have the right idea about taking it easy until you get it down.
When I was about 18 I had a real wheel drive mitsubishi starion turbo that I almost crashed (from oversteer) the second day I had it. Lucky for me no harm was done and I learned to take it easy on regular streets.

I was eyeing that one on their website. How was the car buying experience? Did you a lower price than their "no haggle" price?
