I'm with gfm on that. Leave left foot braking to the pros.
If we're honest here, we'd accept that for most of us (obviously keen but fairly average in terms of driving skill) a FWD is the better bet 'cos it's more predictable below the extremes of its limits and therefore somewhat safer (and probably just as exciting) in our hands.
We all know that a RWD (with traction control switched off!) is more adjustable at/over the limit and ultimately much more fun cos we've seen it on telly, but we also know it needs a more advanced level of skill to achieve that without a 50/50 chance of meeting the scenery backwards.
Most road going 4WD cars are intentionally set up to behave initially like an FWD - call it a level of engineered in safety margin. And again, what we really know is that for most of us the handling limits of an Impreza or Evo are waaaaaay beyond our own and we'll probably never reach that mythical point you read about in the mags where "initial understeer can be easily provoked into a rewarding four wheel drift..."
