If you've been test-driving vehicles at MINI of Burlington in Shelburne, VT, then you may have noticed that each vehicle on our lot handles a little bit differently than the last one. This is usually very noticeable when it comes to the steering of an automobile.
There are two terms that are discussed within the automotive industry. Oversteer and understeer are two common things that people notice when driving. Oversteer will be experienced when you turn the steering wheel at a corner or bend in the road. When the vehicle moves very quickly and precisely without much effort, this is an oversteer situation.
You may experience understeering when you turn the steering wheel and it doesn't move as much as you thought it would. You have to put some extra effort in to turn the vehicle around tight corners and turns on the road.
