Nope - never did. I think in the Helga thread I did note that although she was perfectly happy bursting the egos of PIBs in a straight line, she would fall over on corners. It was a one trick pony, but it did that trick very very well.

EDIT - The Aygo is said to have an "unpredictable" rear end by the "driving gods" who have pushed them hard. I've lift-off-oversteered it once as an experiment in an empty car park, which was fun.

By comparison an Aygo sized car with RWD would be a lot heavier, have a lot less space and would probably be quite twitchy - which is why these things end up being hacked around by "Dwifters"
