Not talking bollocks at all JAP CRAP, I'm speaking through my personal experience with one.

Mate's missus had one and it felt very lethargic and when she crashed it head on at a relatively low speed (have to say not her fault or she'll kill me ) and I was amazed she'd walked away from it. Maybe they have evolved a little since she had hers I don't know. But I found it very off putting. I'll see if my mate has any pics of the wreckage that I can post
