Default I experienced something in the 90 I have never experienced before...
Lift off oversteer. I was coming around an on-ramp fairly quickly. The person in front of me was as well. He was a little too fast though because he spun out. Upon seeing him spin out I lifted off the throttle completely. Bang! Oversteer. Whoah, never felt that before in the 90. I was able to recover and continue on to the bridge. The person who spun out didn't hit anything so it worked out for him too.

Default been there, done that
my VW fox and MkIII GTI VR6 both had that issue. Nothing really major, just unsettling the first time. I think the rear twist beam axle doesn't help too much.

Just picked up a 90 CQ with just 70K on the odometer. Can this be retro with rear swaybar?
