Are these things supposed to understeer like this??

For all the talk of driver training I really think the simple answer is no, at 'modest-ish" speeds, which I assume to mean spirited but safe road driving, then no, I've never noticed either my 2wd or 4wd cars wash out as discribed, and I've had no driver triaining.
I did however have both cars geo'd shortly after purchase (because neither tracked 100% true)

I agree. I have been driving my C2 this week and at any normal speeds the handling is very neutral. I daren't push it enough to provoke a reaction, but it does feel that you would have to do something dumb to do so. It just grips.

Mine was very understeery out of the box, but that can be fixed with a decent geo and then other stuff, just depends how far you want to go to improve the cars handling
Ps - my interpretation of 'set up correctly" would be 'not oem settings", for some reason Porsche set up 997s to understeer, but to be fair I think most manufacturers do this to a degree as understeer is perceived safer than oversteer
