That would be another way to describe it. Over responsive. I was coming up on a car in the left lane of a 4 lane highway rather fast, and when I went to switch to the right lane to pass, it was like, just a slight correction to the right, and I mean really slight, I was in the right lane passing said 'offender' in the left lane.
I think the steering in GM cars and trucks allow for more room with lane changes and twisties. We have a lot of valley roads around here and when negotiating turns in the road with my 2500hd or my CamaroSS, I could do so with confidence, because I was used to the way they handled. With the C, at a certain turn in a certain road, it has to be approached differently than with my Chevy's. A learning curve I can adjust to.
I guess the 300C has more oversteer than what I had become accustomed to.
