BLSTIC - The tendency to spin in the rain can be adjusted for with changes in driving technique and suspension setup on the car (as well as tires, etc). Consider yourselves lucky. Almost all cars sold in America, regardless of drivetrain, understeer terribly unless you either lift off suddenly at speed to induce oversteer, or if RWD, hammer it early in the corner.
