Now that we have rain in Southern California was just wondering how the S handles in the rain.I have not driven to aggresively in the rain but does anyone have any insight how it really handels in the rain?

During the last rain event, I 'tested' the traction in a wide open safe place. It will break loose and then you'll feel the PSM kick in. Overall the car handles very well in the rain when driven responsibly. I'm not planning to drive it in the rain due to risk of others not controlling their vehicles. The Cayenne is my foul-weathered friend -- feel much safer with AWD & 4500lbs.

This is the **** we (Fremont, CA) got for the last 5 mins...yes 5 mins of hail!

Eggplant Cab

It is wonderfully tractable in the rain. I drove in Germany in the rain and it was super in high speed curves and twisty bits. Thos Michelin PS2 are great rain tires. But just beware physics is physics.

You call those measly little things hail? When I lived in Texas, they would call that horse dandruff!

I am in the Bay Area, we should not see this dandruff at all.
