Front-wheel drive cars tend to understeer...

not oversteer. Understeer, in my opinion, can be a lot scarier than oversteer. If you are taking a corner too fast in a front wheel drive car, as many teens do, the steering just doesn't do what you want, and you plow ahead. It doesn't steer enough, i.e. understeers. Usually unexperienced drivers panic at this point and fail to correct the understeer and head right into a tree, car, lake, etc. When a car oversteers usually you can catch it before it really gets out of hand, and an oversteering car tends to go the direction you want to go, albeit a bit exaggerated. To correct an oversteering car is intuitive, much more so than in an understeering car, especially for new drivers.
