Depends on your driving style. Like most mid-engined cars, if you transfer weight to the front (by braking) before a turn and then trail the brakes off after turn-in, the rear end will rotate very nicely. Get on the power too abruptly and you'll be sideways before you know it. Get it right, and you can acheive a pretty nice slip angle with all four tires.

If you just charge hard into a corner without slowing down, sure, the car will understeer. Through transitions (like a slalom) the back end will stay pretty planted if you are on the power. Start lifting off the throttle and the car can get loose in a hurry.

It really comes down to the driver, but the car does not have what I would describe as a lot of built-in understeer.
