Understeer?

So does the GTI have it or not. I like cars that can make turns, thus the lust for a RWD car, so tell me what would you get a used BMW e46 or a new Golf GTI?

Any FWD car is going to have understeer, it's the nature of the beast. Fortunately, they've managed to eliminate a good deal of it. It's actually a fairly nimble car at the edge, watch the Top Gear review in the Videos section of the forums. During the hot lap that the Stig puts it through, it handles the Hammerhead turn rather well, which is designed to throw off FWD cars and induce understeer. It strays outside the lines a bit, but if you know how to put a car around corners properly, you should be able to get into plenty of trouble with it.

the mk5 GTI doesnt have the annoying amount of understeer found in other FWD cars... but its a very different car than the E46, and ofcourse requires a different driving style
