I am curious whether it's just me being leadfooted or just an eejit.
I've got a 2.0tdi SE on Kinetic 17s (not sure which tyres, but they're the standards) but I have found that the grip and handling isn't great. Under firm (not hard) acceleration, I get wheelspin in 1st, (I'm not too surprised about that) but under hard acceleration in 2nd, I get spinning - and the same in 3rd, but under hard acceleration. I'm not hooning a lot, but it's prevalence is a surprise.
I also get a good amount of understeer too - I accept that my GT Golf was a far better handler, but I'm genuinely surprised as to how easy it is to get understeer.
I do approach corners with a LOT less speed than in the Golf, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Or is it me?
