Understeer? With that kind of horsepower, just a little throttle and you have oversteer LOL
Yes, understeer due to the light front end, but you are correct in that the more difficult problem to deal with is the subsequent oversteer when you correct the understeer with trailing throttle over steer, or transition from understeer to power oversteer coming out of a corner.
I owned a VW square-back sedan (AKA station-wagon) as my first car, a fun car in it's own way, but not over-powered by any stretch of the imagination, not that kind of fun. LOL. For a while, my dad bought a new VW beatle every year.
