The very quick steering bothered me at first, but I like it now. LittleBigFit makes a good point. For what it is I think the Fit is pretty steady.

I agree with you... I love the steering on the Fits, both of them, GD and GE. I wouldn't change a thing with steering.

It keeps things interesting at 75 mph, and keeps you awake! My Mustang started to wander when I got wider tires. The slightest crack in the road would cause it to change direction. When i went back to the stock size, the wandering stopped.

Did you get the same tires you had before, just in a wider size?

No, went to G-Force. When I went back to stock size, but not original brand, wandering stopped. Might have just been the G-Force, but I heard some other Mustang owners had the same issue when they went to wider tires. ( Non G-Force )
