Don't turn as well? Were you taking a corner too fast or were you in a parking lot?

What the Hell are you talking about. You need to learn how to drive. I also own a FWD eclipse and my evo drives the same way except its AWD. I am sorry about your car, but come on man you were probably speeding and this happened.

Last vehicle I had was FWD and my Evo turns better.

That does suck though hopefully you can get a good deal at a body shop

Sorry to see that..I don't think the awd is at fault. It's more like a little mis-calculation on your part.

you should just admit you went into a turn too fast.... you dived into a turn without realizing the understeer your going to hit as a stock evo then ofcourse you probably braked hard which increased your understeer instead of just letting go of gas

^^ Sounds like you might know from experience.

j/k

Sorry about your car.. Good luck. Usually minor repairs like that aren't even noticable once completed.

its a reaction if you panick when you understeer.. hard braking.... with understeer you either let go of the gas to regain the weight distribution or you can gently squeeze the brakes.... so siantjab you think your evo is so good that you dont understeer? you think your driving a miata?

i personally like inducing abit of power oversteer when wanna go nuts
