Driving RWD for the first time

mr tommo · 21 Mar 2006 at 21:55

hi,

On saturday i'll be insured on my dads Jaguar S-type.

Now its RWD and ive heard a lot of fuss about how you need to be careful with powerful RWD cars.

So just looking as what i should avoid doing? Will i actually notice its RWD if i don't "drive it like i stole it"?

Also just a general Q on Pro's n Con's of RWD.

Thanks, Tom

This one is the 4.0 V8.

My dad also made the same mistake with the TC, untill he tried to pull off with a bit of speed and got no where.

There's also a nice "sport" button, but i think i will leave that well alone

As regards to the Accelerator as an on/off switch, i might have to get out of that habbit

But what do you expect coming from a 1.4 Megane

The reason i bought it up was because my dad was telling me to be careful today as its not like driving my car and it will be a lot more dangerous.

No no no, nothing too silly, Numberplate has Dad's company's name on it, so must behave
