Shame he got away with it - no justice!

I was shocked at how easily it rolled

Have they been feckering with the suspension or are they naturally that bad?

Rolling a car at that kind of speed should be very difficult (suzuki jeeps not with standing)

I had to drive one as a courtesy car when I had my VTS and they are absolutely shocking. It's like they are riding on stilts and not dampers. They corner on their door handles at 30mph and the ride is still terrible. It felt like the car rolled in dorect proportion to how much steering lock you put on. Even at speeds of 10mph, if you put on full lock the car dragged its mirrors along the road.

I almost spun one at 30 taking the same line through a corner that I did in my VTS. Every week on the Saxo forum there was another tale of some tosser putting his 1.1 on its roof. That clip is evidence as to why. I bet Shitroen really regretted their free insurance offer on those cars by the end of their life.
