What owners wrote
This car becomes uncontrollable on a snow road. It can't make a turn when you need it. It goes very unstable on a straight road. I wasn't able to stop on a red light , and I wasn't able to make a left turn, twice on one 12 miles trip. First I drove with little speed no more than 25 miles an hour, after, on second intersection I stayed on a red light and started my turning from 0 speed.
