EX RWD handling in rain?

[MSowner]

I'm looking at getting an EX Journey RWD. I've driven an AWD Murano for the past 8 yrs and FWD for many years before that. I just moved south where there is very little if any snow but we get horrible rain storms. I searched the forum and have seen several Q&A about snow (and proper tires/driver response) but am questioning how RWD EXs handle in heavy rain? I'm starting to think I would be better getting the AWD.
Thanks!

I live in Portland, OR where it never rains

I have no regrets going with RWD. With a good set of snow tires you would also be impressed at how well a RWD EX goes in the snow.

I just LOVE my RWD, but I live in the desert where it only rains about 3 times a year...

When the road is slippery, my RWD is pretty squirrelly.... VERY.
So was my 2002 IS300 - but not as much as the EX since the EX has tons more power...

I used to have the 1st gen RDX with SHAWD and you couldn't loose your traction no matter what you did... It was fun those three days a year.

I have a RWD with the 19" wheels and its very stable and predictable in the rain. Even from a standstill with a fairly hard start the TCS doesn't kick in. Very pleased with it.
