Default Or maybe you can learn on your own!

Not trying to start a war, merely contributing based on my experience with the CTS-V.

Default Understeer. Thats what I've learned. All the time, except in the rain and snow (fun!).

Since I don't drive 9-10/10's all of the time, the S4 is the perfect car for me. The only point I was trying to make was that dynamically, the V was better (to me, someone who cut his teeth on rwd), and I pushed the car pretty hard. In every other way, its inferior. But there is more to a car than just at the limit dynamics. I'll be getting a rear sway to try and dial out some of the understeer, for when I do drive extra hard.

Default With every change comes some sort of sacrifice.....

With AWD, you obviously get a less balanced car (in general), but at that cost comes certain benefits....like being able to be ON power before the apex and staying on that power.

To keep the weight down, to maintain steering feel, and to keep the purists from freaking.
