Yes, in a single corner instance (straight, corner, straight) The BRZ may feel like it understeers relative to the FR-S
However in a sequence of corners the BRZ's chassis remains composed whereas the FRS starts getting out of shape and overly tail happy. It's fun if you know how to handle it but it's also slower.
Saying the BRZ understeers is a gross misstatement however, relative to just about any car you'll drive the BRZ is not what you'd call understeering car even in the single event scenario. Any understeer is easily sorted with the gas pedal.

Can confirm. You definitely don't need a racing superlicense to be able to feel the difference in handling. We had an FR-S for 91 days, it got T-boned, and we got a BRZ, and the difference is easily noticeable even when driving at 7/10ths on a windy road.
The BRZ is neutral, meaning it is capable of both understeer and oversteer. You control this by manipulating the gas and brake pedals to transfer weight to the tires you want to have more grip. Just because the ends don't immediately try to swap when you enter a corner too fast doesn't mean "the car understeers".
