its basically understeer but you'll get lift-throttle oversteer when you're at the limit, notwithstanding the cold tyres.

S2000 is a fine first car if you don't act like a moron or Brian O'Conner (one in the same? )

Get used to driving the car normally before you try to push it. But if you aren't dead set on an S, get something else.

You may want to find another RWD vehicle that is quick and sporty and a little less in cost than the S2000. Drive it into the dirt and figure out the characteristics of the RWD. Once you have that down, pick up the S (should be cheaper by then) and take some performance driving lessons.

If you must have the S2000 for your first car, go ahead and get it but take some driving lessons at the track no matter what, they will do wonders for your driving abilities.

Compared to most cars, you don't have to turn the steering wheel much. But WTF does that have to do with oversteer/understeer? I think you've got just enough automotive vocabulary to be dangerous.

"dood wach mee I kin mak it oversteer around that korner"
"dood thats not oversteer thats a spin think that kid you hit s still alive?"
