Right, they fixed the ride, but now you've got problems with the fucking understeer, cause the fucking thing got fwd.

You mean torque steer.

No, he means understeer, although not necessarily for the reason he claims.

What context, you bloviating idiot? The only context where understeer would be a factor in a FWD as opposed to a RWD, is at much higher speeds and generally in a track situation.

Torque steer, OTOH, is obvious at any speed.

No, bloviator, he meant torque steer.

When you get at least 50% of torque to the rear axle it's a piece of cace to rotate the car once you will have turned ESP off.

Oh, merci beaucoup, Captain Obvious.

So yes I meant understeer in the drivetrain layout context. Though subaru with it's outgoing symmetrican layout is notoriously unwilling to rotate. I guess it's a moot point in a pig such as Q7.

Funny though, how my "pig" can leave most cars in the dust, what with a flat powerband and with 406 lbs.ft of torque available at 1750 RPM. And the thing corners like it's going out of style, especially in dynamic mode.
