Perhaps this is not a really useful answer, but here goes for what it is worth:
I fly an Apollo Fox, a distant derivative of the Kitfox. Tri-gear, 80 hp Rotax, and it is a delight to fly for this beginner (+/- 100 hrs solo). Cruises at 150 km/h (+/- 80 kts) at 4400 rpm, easily (un)folded, and was even lightly repaired, and to a bearable cost, when I broke the prop and nosewheel leg in a very hard landing.
As a non-native English speaker, I am however quite unsure about the finer intricacies of the word "quirky".
