spinning out in an FWD car is a sign of an alignment problem, or suspension issue, or a tire pressure issue..

um, no. It was pure driver mistake, running up on a cone and stomping on the brake while turning to try and miss it. Braking too hard while turning results in a spin out. Every time.

By run 3, I had learned to look ahead farther and I started to get better. After a few autocrosses, I think I can hold my own.

I agree. Anyone can spin out a fwd car, doesnt mean it's an issue with the car. Throttle lift oversteer is a fwd car's best weapon in autocross anyhow, rotation is key to fast times.

plus I noticed just pushing the Yaris a bit in a road I go on really early in the morning on weekends the back end likes to slide out bit more than in other front wheel drive cars I have owned. Maybe its just me
