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.
FWIW, in many cases you can get oversteer in a FWD car by cutting back on the throttle in the middle of a high speed turn, when understeer is raising its ugly head. Of course this varies from car to car, depending on how the manufacturer has set up the suspension and on how good the car's grip is.
