Are you still on stock tires? I remember trying to autocross on stock tires and the tail coming around everywhere under power.
But it's a different story when you change tires. On decent summer performance tires, with just maintenance throttle, the FR-S will understeer slightly. But it's very close to being neutral. You can transition it to oversteer with moderate throttle or lift.
Personally I think the FR-S suspension was setup from the factory with mild to aggressive (ultra high, max, extreme) performance street tires in mind. Ditching the stock Prius tires would probably make you very happy.
