Handling impressions from owners

Hi all,

I want to know what each of you owners think of the handling of your Yaris's, whether stock or modified.

When my car was stock I found that the suspension was somewhat tauter than what I had read... being soft and supple. I found that in stock form, it was comfortable but taut. This tautness translated into less body roll and better balance(than what i expected) without sacrificing too much on comfort.

What I found bad about the suspension was that it is very prone to understeer around sharp corners. I guess the engineers that designed it, designed the understeer characteristic in for safety purposes.

Now I really want to get a heavy duty sway bar to bring more balance to the rear.... but there isn't one available at the moment... darn.....

Do you's feel the same about your Yaris's handling?
