Default oversteer on tiny roundabouts?

Just started noticing my WRX 03 seeming to oversteer on mini/small roundabouts. Steering seems to get soft and it steers to the right quite quickly.

These are all right hand slow speed roundabouts, needing quite a bit of steering input.

Is it something I should have looked at, or am I just going round that little bit faster than usual? Its only a 6 month old car, completely standard.

You haven't got a flat near side back tyre have you?? Mine doesn't do that- sounds fun though!

Mine understeers quite badly on small islands - and that's a classic with bumpsteer! Then it will usually suddenly "******" and go..

Dont complain about oversteer you muppet.
Its the normal understeer you should complain about if it oversteers good effort leave it as it is.
