One is called understeer, one is called oversteer. ❋ Unknown (2007)
In corners the main trait is push-on understeer, which is right and proper for a car such as this, and although there's a degree of adjustment allowed in the chassis if you lift off the throttle, Renault's Twingo and Ford's Ka are better driver's propositions. ❋ Andrew English (2011)
Sure ... everything reacts just as you'd expect from a mid-size crossover, which is to say understeer, understeer and more understeer. ❋ Unknown (2009)
While some racing drivers prefer their cars to handle with a trace of "understeer" the tendency for the front wheels to slip when turning into a bend, making the car reluctant to enter a corner as precisely as the driver would like ❋ Unknown (2010)
General Motors Not surprisingly for a front-engine V8 convertible, the SS ragtop is a little nose-heavy and the engineers have thoughtfully dialed in an additional degree of protective understeer. ❋ Unknown (2011)
More from the dynamics notebook: Not surprisingly for a front-engine V8 convertible, the SS ragtop is a little nose-heavy and the engineers have thoughtfully dialed in an additional degree of protective understeer, lest you, in an exuberant moment, wipe out your neighbor's display of wooden duck windmills. ❋ Dan Neil (2011)
Hyundai The car exhibits reasonable body and pitch control, but nonetheless feels large in corners and increasingly unhappy as the g-forces increase, tending toward a pretty insistent understeer, despite its 19-inch sport tires. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The car exhibits reasonable body and pitch control — the adaptive air suspension with continuous damping helps — but the Equus nonetheless feels large in corners and increasingly unhappy as the g-forces increase, tending toward a pretty insistent understeer, despite its 19-inch sport tires. ❋ Dan Neil (2011)
In the very situation I'm in at Vallelunga—a transient cornering maneuver with some speed, having to peddle the throttle to bring the nose into line—the Murcielago would be all wound up, its out-of-date stability software and AWD system agonizing between understeer and oversteer. ❋ Dan Neil (2011)
With the all-season tires a touch of understeer sneaks past the computers, but it's surely cured by the summer Pirellis. ❋ Dan Neil (2011)
Teammate Rosberg said both drivers were struggling with understeer, but came with equal cars. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Where most cars would understeer into turn 2 and push the front around turn 11 and onto the back straight, the SLS is aggressively trying to step out the rear, even on a constant throttle. ❋ Unknown (2010)
There was plenty of lateral grip but the car exhibited a joy-killing understeer (generally, that means the front suspension is too stiff relative to the rear suspension). ❋ Dan Neil (2010)
In quicker transitions the 640i loses some of its poise and the electronic interventions groan and chatter impatiently as they cope with the increasing amount of understeer. ❋ Dan Neil (2011)
Dan Neil/The Wall Street Journal The signature piece in this car is the all-wheel-drive system, which can shunt most of the engine torque to the rear wheels as necessary and will direct more torque to the outside rear wheel in a corner to help null out understeer. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Front-drive cars sometimes have a lot of understeer, what NASCAR drivers call "push". ❋ Unknown (2010)
That'll do away with any nasty understeer (more later). ❋ Unknown (2010)
