Oversteer???
WTF??? Who has oversteer problems in a FWD car??? Not that I am really complaining, I would rather have oversteer than understeer, but really...wtf??? I get off the freeway last night at a 'brisk' pace and I have the back end slide out...then I went and 'autocrossed' through some cones in an empty parking lot and it does it sometime there also....hmmm...

Yeah mine does that, but only in the snow.
Freaky as hell becuase you don't expect a FWD car to do that

Yeah, but with weight transfer, in snow, it is far less suprising, I was turning at a constant rate through a medium left hand corner and they broke loose

It's all about weight transfer...yes, it would be nice to have less body roll, but if you control the car well, it can still be tons of fun...

I've got oversteer but on a dirt road only. It holds really well on the street even when I push it hard through corners.

It's pretty easy to get lift-throtle oversteer.
When you feel the back end get loose, it's a hint to nail the gas and let the front tires pull you through. ***Don't practice this on the street***
