Comparing Oversteer and Understeer

Don't immediately dismiss a vehicle that feels like it has oversteer or understeer. In many scenarios, you'll learn how to drive perfectly fine despite the sensitivity of your steering wheel. Don't forget, it takes a little bit of time to get used to any vehicle.

Oversteer doesn't necessarily pose a problem, but you'll want to be careful when turning your steering wheel. An overly sensitive steering wheel will cause your vehicle to move to either side in a more sensitive manner. You'll have to get used to only slightly turning the wheel to get where you need to go.

An understeer will result in your needing to really move a vehicle's steering wheel to either side when trying to get it to turn. It takes a bit more effort to get around changes in the road. It's not too hard to get used to this scenario.
