Or were you not allowed to drive the tires up to their limits?
Make sure you consider the source when asking questions like this, especially if the answer doesn't contain any sort of context/credentials. Even when people are allowed to take tires to their limits, novices who are timid will never be going fast enough to be in a position to discuss understeer/oversteer tendencies, and novices who are ham-fisted will charge the corner entry, crank the wheel, experience understeer, crank the wheel harder (usually lighting up stability control at this point) and complain that "the car won't turn!!" And even among more experienced drivers, in an unfamiliar car their negative impressions of the car's dynamics could be due to them not adapting their driving technique appropriately for the car they're currently driving as opposed to their own car.
