Default Strange problem!

Hello everyone, so I leased a 2014 Lexus IS350 F Sport about 3 months ago. I live in San Diego and about 2 days ago it was raining and I was driving home for the first time in rain in this car. And I lost control the tail of my car going 78 (nothing happened thank god) but I wanted to see if that's normal?

Specially with the fact that I use to drive my 2005 Acura TL 90-95 miles in hardcore rain and no loss handling (I know it's stupid, only would do that on a empty freeway, won't risk the lives of other people).

It's strange that a car that's suppose to be better can't handle being driven in rain?!! Or is there something wrong with my car only?

Nothing wrong with your car. Traction and handling are two different thing. Do slow down.

Great blog to read. Very educational, especially with the 3IS being my first RWD.
