Have commented on the A321's distinct longtitudinal instability while the A319 has noticeable lateral instability in the same conditions.

Think personally its something to do with the first having a very long fuselage and the second a very short fuselage compared to the wings - while the first version the A320 got it almost right.

But I'm sure somebody will come up with the real reason.
