Well I never had any problem with body roll, but I never driven one with completly standard suspention. I don't have much lag on mine but even one with lots of lag I driven didn't scare me with that. When I'm going properly fast I'm in usable rev range anyway. But the way oversteer apears from nowhere on Escos is almost unknown to any other 4x4 car I've driven, also it can sometimes unexpectly undeersteer badly. It is very capable car though and it's only a matter of skill to go fast in it. It's lots of fun on in slippery conditions too, even if not so fast then (I got beaten by fuckin' N/A Legacy on icy track
, but did some STI's at the same time
)
