HE BITES! Quick, reel him in:

A mk1 gti does that, plus corners (1.8 8v, 117bhp, 860kgs ish kerb weight)

EDIT - The Aygo is said to have an "unpredictable" rear end by the "driving gods" who have pushed them hard. I've lift-off-oversteered it once as an experiment in an empty car park, which was fun.

By comparison an Aygo sized car with RWD would be a lot heavier, have a lot less space and would probably be quite twitchy - which is why these things end up being hacked around by "Dwifters"

Lift off oversteer can be fun- but a lot less controllable than a rwd oversteering car

for reference, this is a mate of mine in his starlet



Dunno whether I just proved a point, or reinforced yours

Hang on, think I know now...
