It's fun in a strange way. If you have the 16" wheels and some nice tyres it will grip well, but take it for a b-road blat and you'll find yourself being thrown all over the road.
You can't see it all that well in this video, but I'm braking from about the speed limit (I don't actually remember, honest!), perhaps a little above and the front end starts to wander. Maximise the video for the full effect

That bit of road is actually quite smooth, I should upload the video from the corner that's actually bumpy! 2010 onwards cars will be better but the fundamental problems with the suspension are still there, it's underdamped and there isn't a huge amount of travel at the back.
