The fun thing with mine though was that it was one of the only FWD cars I've ever driven that would oversteer! ;D

That must have been designed in  :-\ entertaining though :y once you're aware of it ::)

The saloon drifted quite nicely on Bridgestones ::) but the estate is a handful when it goes due to the extra length and weight. Fit black/round tyres and you need to be quite careful on greasy roundabouts :-X

Indeed... I had a hatch and the tyres were mid range. Was interesting when pressing on :-X As you know there are quite a few roundabouts around me ::)

I have to say that my Signum feels pretty well planted on the road,although based on Vectra estate but without the rear overhang probably helps it a bit :y

A combination of a shorter tail and a bloody great v6 at the front :y Probably quite balanced compared to the Vectra ::)
