My mum sold hers to get a Prius. What does that tell you about them? :P

Also, I think it says in the owner manual to not take them over 140kph because they become highly unstable or something. Of course, not that you'd be wanting to take one above those sorts of speeds, but gives you a hint of the overall stability of them.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

bahahaha - in my yonger days I wanted to see what one was capable of. Needless to say it felt very light and floaty about 25kph above what the manual states.

I don't think they're as bad as people are saying - just think of it as a city car with a bit more clearance. Easy to park too - and you can drive over curbs, grass verges etc with no worries.

In 7 years of ownership my sister hasn't had a problem. Although I recall hearing some very unlady-like language driving up the blue mountains with the speed dropping.
Then again - most 4wd's aren't too flash on hills.
