Consumer Reports said the problem occurred during a handling test on its test track. During the test, the driver approaches a turn unusually fast, then releases the accelerator pedal to simulate a typical driver's response. This causes the rear of the vehicle to slide.

Wow, so in a vehicle with some weight and power to the back wheels lifting when going through a turn fast willl make it oversteer..... Glad they just figured it out. Even better is that their notion of "typical driver's responce" is a complete lack of understanding of vehicle dynamics. What a bunch of unskilled fucking pansies we've become.

lol they just discovered what throttle lift oversteer is. my sti has it pretty bad if i use the DCCD to put all the power to the rear, but if you cant drive sideways, you dont deserve to drive at all as i always say :biglaugh:
