I dont know where this perception that China has bad roads come from. At least in urban areas, the city streets and highways are just as good or superior to the West. You wouldn't encounter any problems that you wouldn't encounter in the West.

Only in the most backward rural areas will you find really decrepit roads. But Chinese roads on a whole are very good and comparable to developed nations.

not bad, but even in urban areas they are not as good as in, for example UK. I have just driven to my office in Shanghai, there are some poor surfaces even here.

the 306, that was a great motor. much better than the 307 in terms of handling. lift off oversteer particularly impressive, I remember spinning one on a roundabout once.......... didn't hit anything though. worth every penny of the 500M USD it must have cost to develop the CHASSIS.

Perhaps if you are driving in the backstreets, but the regular roads and major roads are all up to developed standards, they are comparable to any developed country. I have been to everywhere in China, and one of the things that never fail to impress me is the excellent road conditions and infrastructure, especially in comparison to other developing countries.
