My dad mates mate bought one and took my dads mate out for a spin, he lost it at 120mph, went over the centre verge on the motorway and hit another car head on. The driver was admitted hospital and shortly later released as alright, but bruised, however, my dad mate had to be cut out the car, when he was out the skin on his head was split and you could apparantely see his skull, and still has a very bad stutter due to slight brain damage. The doctors said he was extremely lucky to be alive, and really he should have been 6 foot under.
He had only had the car a few days though, but yes, they are extremely tricky, epecially when your an idiot with them. A dry straight road, and the back still managed to snap, so id say that they are pretty bad.
