Yes you could get it to oversteer - but you really had to toss it and then stab the juice.... then with the all wheel drive -- you just punched it and it would pull straight out of a corner. Amazing handling - but BORING as all get out to drive. Everything worked too well. I got it to understeer once -- then you just slammed the gas down hard and dialed in more turn... and the front end pulled right out of it. Just stupid easy to drive.

Car would have been fun to gut it out = cage it - take all the smog crap off - make it all loud.... but for that kind of money I can have 4 cars like I have... so why bother.
