Won't go so far as to say you're doing it wrong, but......Geez... I might be doing it wrong. I liked the 380. Maybe “rental car” is the common theme here, but had a new rental 380 when I came across a great set of twistys heading inland from Port Macquarie - I had to stop twice for the transmission to cool down and come out of limp mode, but I found the chassis and brakes very good and very chuckable for such a big car. The traction control was nicely done too and allowed a good amount of inside wheel spin out of corners to make it dance a little for fun, but gave great steering feedback without being too torque steery as it scrabbled for traction.
I am biased though. I dislike front wheel drive more than I dislike automatics, at least you can make an auto almost behave like a manual. And don't get me started on understeer
I've only ever owned rear wheel drives, the 380 was a company car, and was treated as such.
