Actually, I was wrong (I know, right?) about which was my very first response to you back in August. Here it is:

The lessons in understeer are all very well.
However, what the OP (and myself plus others) is referring to:
The S3 - compared to cars that we have both previously owned - and compared to some other cars on the market today - understeers more readily given the same tyres, roads, roundabouts, corners, conditions.
Couple this with the poor damping on the S3 - a bumpy or irregular surfaced corner will see the tyres lose contact with the tarmac and all the grip is immediately reduced - sooner than compared to another car on the same corner with identical conditions and factors.
It's a relative comparison, not absolute comparison.
