Understeer = hitting the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer = hitting the wall with the rear of the car.

But I'd rather not see the wall(or curb) I'm about to hit.

Ironic SVT Focus, because those things are pretty hard to understeer. You'd almost think they were RWD at times.

Understeer = every Audi except 1

Oversteer = Audi R8

LMAO!

WELL, if you're going to jump over a curb then you're just going to jump over a curb! Nothing over or understeer can do for you there other than determine which body panels get destroyed.

Didn't they reclassify that definition of Oversteer as "Drifting"?

For 90% of drivers, understeering is preferred. Slam on the brakes and hope the car regains traction in time to make the corner.

For the other 10%, oversteering at least gives you a chance to countersteer and make the corner. Unless you're in a 911. Then, sadly, that 10% drops to like 0.01%.
