I had a car that would do that, it actually felt worse than it was. I got to the point where I knew how to induce it. Lift suddenly while cornering quickly, weight transfers to the front and around comes the rear. I had a buddy film it for me once, what felt like a huge drift was hard to even see on film. My suggestion is to find a nice open area and practice inducing the rear to slide and practice the recovery. Ff cars are great for therecovery end, you just give it more gas and she will straighten her self out. Oh yeah 1997 Nissan Maxima, 3.0 V6 w a 5spd mt.
You can soften the onset of the oversteer with a tire pressure adjustment, bump up the psi a couple lbs in the rear and ,Iirc will reduce oversteer.
