All this talk of S3's understeering all day long made me want to have a wee go at a few roundabouts (sweeping bends are a bit ambitious for now...). Had my S3 just over a month and theres been no rain for ages so couldnt really do any safe trails in the dry as too much grip equals too much speed which equals if it all goes wrong, and the possiblity of :busted_cop:.
I was out in the car with a mate yesterday when it was ******* it down, so off went the ESP as i was approaching a small roundabout, on exit applied the power mid bend an the rear flew out as the 4wd kicked in, it was a slightly brown staining experience to say the least as i just wasnt expecting it at all. Mainly due to all the understeering threads on here. Once i had it in my brain the car CAN oversteer i could have a little fun with it and swing the tail out an hold it for a few secs
So a word of warning to people who think their S3 will always understeer, it might just catch you out one day. To anyone else who experiences a bit of rear end action , get some action stories/pics/vids up!!
