In the UK it has developed a cult following amongst enthusiasts because of the simplicity of modification. Popular modifications include C20 XE and C20 LET engine conversions, which create reasonably quick cars, quite cheaply, which are ideal for hil climbs and track days. There are several clubs which provide users with good sources of information on maintaining and modifying.

"The car?s handling was still criticized and the styling called dull. There were also numerous reports of single-vehicle rollover accidents that called the handling into question."

Can't say i'd agree with that, those reported accidents were no doubt caused by idiots driving way too fast. If you stay within the limitations of the car then theres no problem, just like any other car.
