i drifted it stock couple of times, and i never felt it was gonna roll, the jazz handles pretty well actually. Now dat i have lowered it with Tanabe springs and got some lightweight rims and Kumho tires it handles very well.
oh and check this out today i was takin a curve at about 70 - 80km/h
the car just oversteered and i didnt have to pull the e-brakes, i didnt even mean to do dat, i just downshifted to 'S' and it freaked me out a little bit cos i didnt expect it to oversteer without e-brakes, i guess the curve was pretty tight. but other than dat it drifted pretty well.. and nope the fit never felt like it was about to roll

I bought my fit in PA which has the Alleganey Mts. , it handle well on the snakey turns. though when it got windy it has a tendency to jerk a little thats why i asked. but good to know.

i drift around town all the time in my 97 civic during the winter. snow drifting is fun...well, until it melts and re-freezes into a slab of ice...then i just don't drive much.

That look hilarious, I don't like drifting. Well it looks cool, but not practical to everyday drivers. It costs too much money and you are guaranteed to smack into something.
