understeer = the car keep going straight when you take a turn - AKA hard to turn, commonly present with Front wheel drive cars, for example: Honda Accord
Oversteer = OVER turn, mean the car turn into the corner easier and the REAR tire loose grip before the front wheel and slide towards the outside of the curve. Commonly present with Rear wheel drive car.

especially wit my 4th gen its really wierd, sometimes under high speeds i can easily turn, when going around a corner and accelerating, it usually oversteers. but otherwise it understeers most of the time.

Once I took a shot of tequila alongside a shot of bacardi 151 j/k choose one but its pointless to do both. The eeee is stronger than left foot braking so for future referance don't do both. If u want controll then left foot if u want to slide around doing f'ed up shit use the eee.
understeer= U see the tree u are about to hit with the front end of the car. U turn ur wheels but the car continues to go straight.
oversteer= Ur ass just slammed the tree u never knew existed.
The back end slides out.

The other is pretty sweet once you learn how to control it, that's oversteer. The average joe (or joe-ette) on the road has no idea what to do when a car oversteers (steer opposite to where you want to go, generally.) This usually leads to crashing into things at weird angles.
Understeer was one of the main reasons I left hondas. :happysad:
