In regards to understeer.......

[HTM Yaris]

I suggest getting your skill level WAAAAY up before driving a MR2 or Elise spirited . With these cars having the engine in the rear , it makes them susceptable to snap oversteer (especially in the wet ). The Elise is less susceptable than the MR2 due to the better tuned suspension , stickier tires and lower center of gravity . But even the mighty Elise will spin in the hands of someone who isn't up to par with their skills .
