All in all it seems Honda is doing something definitely right.
RWD cars have a slightly greater control capacity than FWD cars, but are not as nimble in the easy corners, or as easy to recover from a mistake.

RWD cars also can have issues when provided with "too much" power - for instance, the tail sliding out in a corner and providing instant oversteer.

Here again, such as we did with brand loyalty - we run into the same issue of driver preference; and what they're more prepared to deal with.
