Although all the evidence out there at present on those types of short twisty circuits says otherwise? 🤔🤯
What evidence are you talking about? Initial track times posted on certain circuits?

Yes there have been a couple tested now on short twisty circuits.What evidence are you talking about? Initial track times posted on certain circuits?
Alignment settings. The early cars were set up biased quite strongly towards understeer, a poor choice for ultimate feel and performance but likely a choice for safety (and protecting their pre-production test cars) in the hands of dozens of hamfisted journalists.Explain this a little more please
Has anyone commented on hard cornering in the Emira? I suppose that isn't possible on a test drive but it seems to me that aspect of the car is missing from forum reviews.
On my test drive, I tried to induce understeer in tighter bends that had been pointed out by journalists… I couldn’t feel any understeer at the speed I would drive on b roads
This ^ - I drove it a bit hard/with some speed on my short test drive.... did not feel any understeer, very planted. I did not see much fault in the handling characteristics. I thought they were excellent.To add to this, I didn't feel any understeer on-track either. Only on the skid pad did I feel it. Even with a wet skid pad, it was actually quite difficult to induce oversteer. The car is ridiculously planted. When the rear did break out, the car naturally wants to reel itself back in.
