I honestly can't understand the negative reputation that this vehicle has.
Yup, I can see that it's not an adequate vehicle for reconnaissance, but in a vehicle poor army, especially on the reserve side, it makes an adequate training vehicle if nothing else. On top of that I can see numerous uses for it on deployments. If I look at an artillery battery for example I can see it filling the role of an arty recce vehicle, a troop sergeant major's vehicle, maybe even as the armoured detachment vehicle for a gun crew or even an MUAV det.
All that I've heard so far is it can roll over in certain situations - at this point the M152 and even LAVs enter the chat (why do you think we started putting roll bars on all of our M152s and Iltises in the 70s?). Do aggressive driving in unfriendly terrain and vehicles with soft or high suspensions can roll.
For an army that is vehicle poor some of us seem to be all too ready to throw 500 of our all too few armoured vehicles under the bus.
