That's not surprising. But, I see sidecar wheels coming up in the air with only the slightest
provocation. I'm wondering if the Spyder styles have the same characteristic.

The dynamics are completely different. To start with the 2 wheel axle
is in front and it is centered between the center of gravity. I think
if you did lift a wheel it would cause a violent yaw/understeer effect
but I am not sure. It might end up being a Porche/VW type trailing
oversteer once you try to correct. It would be fun to play with one on
a skid pad if you had a decent roll cage.
I am fairly impressed with this Hundai Santa Fe. I have been hitting
these twisties pretty aggressively and it has not really seemed
squirrelly to me yet.
Rent, buy the insurance and drive it like you stole it is my
philosophy ;-)

I've no idea what the dynamics are, although I'm sure they're different. But, until I ride one, that
would be my main concern about riding one in the twisties.
