There is a lad that I know that has one and he has blown it up a few times.
But I think that is more down to how he drives it and who he has work on it!

bad as in what?
they dont sit very low and come with 14's as standard but i wouldnt recommend anything lower than 40mm or 15's anyway
they handle fine 
transmission again its something you can look after fluids ect however word is the box's go on them but like shane said i aint ever had one go!!!!
