I've been under the impression that "snappy" characteristics are from a rather extreme bias. That's been my experience (e.g. Super Beetle).

When I crashed my Superbeetle, it was because (just after dark on December 30th) I followed a new red Audi around a corner onto a freeway onramp and gunned it. Water that was washing down an embankment had frozen into a solid sheet and the rear end slid downhill. I tagged the barrier on the right and it shot across into the barrier on the left. (25-50ft later and I would've been sitting still facing the wrong way on the freeway, so I've no complaint)
When it was rebuilt, it turned out the steering box was rusted almost solid, so maybe it wasn't as responsive as it might have been.
