Mine handled as well (after sways/springs/struts/etc) but it was a different feel. It was more nose-heavy, but it turned in well and the front tires would let you fire it out of a corner. The Z felt more balanced, but you would have to be much more precise and come back on the throttle slower or you'd leave the road backwards. The Sti you could fling into a corner, point the front wheels where you wanted to go and pin the throttle. You can't beat the grip and corner exit speed of AWD.

It's not that it handles better. It's that all wheel drive allows you to be bolder than you would be in a Z. Plain and simple. You can take a tight apex at 50mph with all 4 wheels rolling, no problem N I'd be drifting through it using way more driving skill n fighting with the car to make it. Now my talent will get me through that Apex. Your computers will get you through that Apex.

Whose actually handling? Me or you.

It's a good car. But bring it back to Its front bias and see how it handles. Awd can fix anything
