Not necessarily violent. It's transferring the weight to the front, causing understeer and then foot to the floor with a locked wheel. You could manage if tires are cold.

That's if you have manual. You see I wasn't blessed with a manual transmission .

Thats what i thought but the price difference from the is250 F-sport to the IS350 F-sport is almost $7,000. For that price increase i can grab myself a 135i M-Sport.
