Whoever was saying that the Z can't handle very well in the rain is full of it. Claudette was making its way to the gulf coast this weekend and there was lots of rain unfortunately for me (i wanted to go to the beach) but I was very impressed on how the Z handled. At no time did I feel uncomfortable driving even in the heavy downpours as I guess I was driving through some of the outer bands of the storm. I hit alot of standing water toward the side of the road and the car didn't even slightly jerk the wheel which I was quite surprised about.
I give it an A+ for driving in the rain.
