Oversteer or understeer (2015, brake, tires, best)

[survivingearth]

Ok weird question....Let's say in this imaginary scenario you car would either oversteer or understeer. Which one would you choose based on chances of getting back control of the car

[elhelmete]

Understeer, like the vast majority of current cars do.

Understeer takes sweat, oversteer takes talent.

Understeer, plus snappy return to center and stays there until called for.

Almost nothing actually oversteers. S2000 was the most neutral car I've driven. It was pretty neutral. If you weren't paying a whole lot of attention and, say, went over a small hill, the rear liked to step out on you. It could have used a bit more understeer than it had. Only thing I can think that actually may have had some oversteer was the old 911s. I've never driven one though. Even then, I think it was just that they were RWD and had a lot of weight out on the rear of the car so once it started going around the heavy part wanted to be in front much more than that they actually (with neutral throttle) had any oversteer built into them. You can always make a RWD car oversteer pretty easily sans stability control.

My 2015 Elantra oversteers, at lower speeds making normal turns around blocks in the Cleaver's neighborhood. Goes further than intended in the direction I'm turning, so I have to apply a tad of opposite wheel coming out of the turn. I had to take 3psi out of the rear tires to keep the rear end below regional flight control airspace(!) when travelling down a curved stretch of bumpy road, and 33psi - per Hyundai - in the front pullers. Tightens up on the highway though.

Older Porsche 911 has oversteer. Don't brake while entering or in a turn. And if the road is wet, you will spin.

i prefer a slight over steer situation with my cars, that way i can control how the car goes through a corner.

If you want to experience severe understeer, drive a 1970's GM full size car like a Cadi, Buick, Olds. They did not go where you were steering it on turns.
