The old VW Beetle had the same problem to a lesser extent. The rearward wieght bias of the rear engine/transmisssion tends to make it oversteer if you pushed it too hard through a curve or if you braked too hard as you were entering a curve. But that rearward weight bias made it very stable for when you were accelerating out of a curve. These handling characteristics were the opposite of those of the forward weight biased front engine/rear drive cars most people were used to driving, which were stable when braking into a curve and tended to understeer through the curve if you pushed the limits of adhesion.
