He replied, "They(wrxs) don't understeer."

My jaw dropped-- i've watched a lot of videos on Imprezas being pushed hard on track and understeer is almost always a problem. Or am i misremembering?

Could someone weigh in here?
AWD Subarus understeer like pigs.

Buuuuut, you can get the ass end out on them under certain conditions. I bent a rear control arm finding that out...
