The Tavera is a decent-handling vehicle. It doesn’t feel too top-heavy and is the most nimble of this lot, thanks to its relatively low weight and size. The quick and fairly accurate steering helps as well. The rear leaf springs compromise ride quality and make a lightly loaded Tavera a bit bouncy, but load up the vehicle and things get considerably better. The suspension is on the stiffer side; you can feel the lack of compliance at low speeds and sharp ridges can be jarring. Build up speed and it soaks up the smaller bumps, but it gets caught out by larger ones. The brakes have pretty good stopping power but need more servo assistance.
