You've got the car at the right time. I got mine a few years ago, a group of us all got our first RWD cars about the same time with a few months between. I got mine around this time, and all of us who got them in the more wintery months still have them.
Everyone who got them in the summer months crashed theirs in the winter and is on their 2nd rwd car now. You'll learn how to really drive it in time to appreciate it for the summer
Love it
