my audi CQ does have understeer if you drive it wrong, but once u get the hang of it you can get it sideways with oversteer whenever you want to... and it weighs a bunch at 3600 with a full tank and 2 people but it really doesnt feel that heavy...

I don't see how that's possible, but whatever. Maybe I had the heaviest TII ever.
i dunno i think its the amount of traction in corners due to the awd that may make it seem heavy.
plus i dunno but it felt like it's body rolled a little much for my flavor.

Yeah, the stock suspension is pretty soft, but I'm changing that soon. The stock engine and tranny mounts suck too, but that's another story. I do miss understeer on demand....I mean, I can get the tail to come around, but not as easily as I could in a TII with a T04.

that pretty much sums it up.
altho i love the sound of that boxer engine running a 3" straight exhaust, an old timer at my shop swears the kids car has a miss everytime, im like "no its a HORIZONTAL MOTOR" hes like "no, i know a miss when i hear one bla bla bla 25 years bla bla bla god bla bla bla dumb imports bla bla bla kids!"
