With controller sometimes is frustrating. Especially on fast sections on gravel/snow: a "right 5-6 turn" is very difficult, or you break like it is a hairpin and say bye bye to stage win, or you go flatout and pray but it can work one or two times not three...
I have not yet tried '90 / '00 and '10 cars, I'm playing with a pure career mode so I have driven only the car I bought (Lancia Fulvia, Lancia Sratos and LanciaS4). I hope the handling in the fast sections will be better with more recent cars...

P.S. Someone with PS4?
