Guys, as the others have said, if you're not pushing it the Zed will be fine. I've had it out in the wet a lot of times and its easy to drive and not scary at all. Compared to my Leon, its much better planted and feels a lot better suited to the wet as my Leon just understeered like a dog. Keep the ESP on and there'll be no problems what so ever. I have found you really have to be wanting to get the back end out in the wet for it to step out with ESP on. Havent dared try it without yet as I can get it out a little bit with it on
