You can overdrive the entry to a corner and crank the wheel over too quickly for the tires to keep up in just about any street driven daily-driver if you try hard enough. The result once the front tires start sliding instead of holding a slip angle is heavy, plowing understeer, and this is particularly likely if you're still on the brakes because you knew you were too fast going in.

Understeer due to poor driver technique is not the same thing as the amount of understeer the car has built into it.
