Rear-heavy cars will tend to oversteer, meaning the back end will want to switch with the front when traction is lost (from slippery roads, for example). The same goes with front-engine, front wheel drive cars. They tend to understeer from the weight balance being in the front (except during high-speed corners while braking. The lighter rear plus braking will lead to rear-wheel traction loss, resulting in brake-induced oversteer, but it won't try to spin you around like a top.).



There's no call to be rude.



Not if you've got a solar-powered charger.

The MR2 will not necessarily have more weight in the rear, and being a sports car, it's closer to 50/50 front/rear bias. *I actually think it's 42/58 F/R*. In fact, having driven several MR2's, both first and second gens, I can personally say that they're extremely neutral (moreso than most other cars I've driven) while going down the road. They're certainly more stable than V6 Fieros.
