Driving schools don't teach people how to react to anything to be frank. They just teach you how to pass exams like other schools in Malaysia 
Also majority of FR cars are tuned to understeer as well. This is true of most Merc and BMWs in the past 10 years. Add stability control to the mix if you're getting a 150k car and it's relatively safe. If you're going into MR and RR cars then it's a different matter, as these are mostly sports cars.
I've driven several FR cars including a 340hp BMW Z4 and my daily driver is a FR car. The majority of people can't drive to the limit that will really invoke oversteer on these cars on public roads.
fenrir I enjoy driving too but a RWD car is not a must for me. What's important is a good chassis, nice steering and a responsive engine. A Mini Cooper (which I've driven) or a used Lotus Exige (which I've only touched) is a lot of fun for RM150k but it's not a RWD car and it it's not a saloon (for you) Have you thought about the Mazda MX5 Miata?
miata mx5? um, somehow i got a strong distaste for mazda's car, especially rotary based engine Also majority of FR cars are tuned to understeer as well.

Well FWD to RWD conversion is illegal, from JPJ and puspakom...that is definitely....if not, i wanna mod to 4WD leh....hehehe
Avanza stable?? that's 1st time i heard...my dad used to owned a 1st gen Avanza 1.3, underpowered, stability is the worse among all the cars, not gd for HW cruise as RPM shoots 3k++ in 100km/h...means makan minyak
but Avanza is tall, makes it nice 2 drive, got RWD feels, cornering(in slow spd) feels gd...coz small turning radius(as bonet very short).., City wise, FC is very good...

I was comparing with the previous gen 5 series la... the last 5 series bangle design not that 3rd gen 5series. SO it was quite an achievement for FWD cars to beat RWD cars in corners. By referring to the Accord, i'm not askin' TS to buy Accord, just want to prove nowadays with the tech even FWD cars can beat RWD. 
is it? honestly, other than fairlady which the pricetag is very heavy for me, none of the import cars attracts my attention. so when my dad kapsiao and bombard me with a lot of ideas abt changing cars, which i only bought d last 2 months ago, ask me to change car asap, then i said i'm not interested, cos none of them manual transmission(i wonder why, in all current honda line, only civic type r is manual, which i think it grabs too much unnecessary attention on already 'famous' civic, car thieves main target, that's why honda offer so much security package on civic(see? i even considered buying civic, but eventually i buy persona 
))well, like someone in this thread said before, no doubt when comes to daily life, you like ppl pull you than pushing you, but when comes to car, i like being pushed :0
