Default RSX's have oversteer??

I was reading in car and driver that the RSX's have oversteer not understeer like the integras. Is that true?

How do RSX's handle compared to an integra?

The back end of 2002 models may break loose on the track, and this is by design. I think it has been toned down for 2003. It is a stretch to say it oversteers...understeer is definetly dominant. The RSX-S handles better than the GS-R, but certainly not as good as the ITR with an LSD, light weight, stiff suspension, etc etc.

yeah, pretty much all cars are meant to understeer from the factory. that trait can be changed with springs and such, but unless you are a very experianced driver, it is probably not the smartest idea
