Yes, but the Avant has a stiffer chassis and is a more neutral handler than the sedan

It is the extra chrome around the back window.

Default Really, I have the opposite experience.
My Avant is an understeering pig! I'm glad yours is nice and neutral, but I'm having a lot of trouble with mine. I ordered a fatter rear anti-roll bar last week and it should be here today or tomorrow. We'll see if that helps when I next get her to the track.
