I shouldn't have said nose heavy ... meant just understeery which often go hand in hand but not always directly related... I think it's probably more the mechanics of the front drive that causes a lot of AWD cars to push/plow through a turn and requires a lot of throttle lift etc to turn it in and make it through mid turn before rocketing out
