anybody driven a Celica lately?

I thought I would never be able to experience over-steer in a fwd car in any gran turismo, until I drove this car! The back-end slides out all the time! Why don't any other cars behave like this?

While it's true that the general perception of FF's is a natural tendency to understeer due to most of the weight is at the front, the oversteer could be caused by many things.

It could be that the rear springs/dampers are too soft, the rear ride height is too high, or it could be that the track itself is too bumpy. I found the Honda Accord to be very tail-happy in bumpy courses like Opera Paris.

Try the TRD version of the Celica. Really lovely oversteering car. I experience the same. And I like it.
