My grandfather was a huge Corvair guy and it was my moms first car. They never had any issues with handling but from what I've gathered is this: Due to the rear engine design the tire inflation was supper important on these cars. The rear tires were supposed to be set at like 35 PSI and the front at like 20 or 25....or vise versa. When you would go to gas stations back in the day they would unknowingly overinflate the tires making them dangerous and squirrely.
