Yes safe(er),
Understeer scrubs off speed, and you have some degree of steering control.
Oversteer does not loose speed, you have no directional control, (once lost) and you end up lord knows where. Usually in someone elses way.
Just because a car is FWD, it does not have to be an automatic understeerer, its just the way they are set up. Even a BMW is set up with a degree of understeer in normal use, its just that providing ample power to the rear wheels, its easy to provoke oversteer if that is your wish.
