They were bizzarre to drive. At slow speeds the rear wheels steered 'with' you in fork lift truck style. This made you think the car was oversteering as you accelerated out of junctions (even though it was front wheel drive). At higher speed, (supposedly as a stability aid) the rear wheels steered 'against' you, tucking the back of the car in slightly, giving the impression of understeer!
