So a oversteery car could be caused by driver inputs. So lets try to see if its true or not. When do you feel/experience the oversteer? On corner entry, mid corner (right before and during the apex), or on corner exit? Do you experience oversteer only after applying throttle?

A car that naturally oversteers will do so when you enter a corner, but without any throttle input. If the car oversteers only when throttle is applied (commonly known as power oversteer), then its usually drivers input, you are mashing on the throttle too hard or too soon, or both (usually both).
Yes, it oversteer between mid corner and exit,,if I throttle the car swing and traction control kick in. The only time I can really throttle is when the car most straight.
