A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

makes you wonder who said that fwd equals understeer Huh

EDIT: i absolutely adore this cars (abarth topolino, mini cooper, ke, kp, etc..) but the thing i dont like is the driving position. Its just so un natural - specially with mini, with the engine in the front - the steering collum is almost vertical, and the pedals are stepped on like piano's. thats why i like 80ies econo-sport-cars.. they are cheap and quick/fun/"raw"/basic like the oldschool cars but have some "serious" technology in them, to make the ride exciting and make the experience comfortable enough to push hard.. this blance is perfectlycaptured with our beloved ae86, i think.
