Re: buying an suv
the problem with SUVs is that they psychologically distance you from the plight of other drivers around you. I have a few friends who own SUVs, and these are sweet people; compassionate, kind, etc., but when they drive their SUVs they think nothing of tailgating some poor bloke in a VW rabbit so that their headlights utterly rape the visibility of the other drivers & block all chance of the VW driver being able to see anything to change lanes, turn, or even keep from getting a splittling headache.

Re: buying an suv
In a recent poll, 68% of people considered themselves to be better than average drivers.
I don't care what the "safety reports" say about SUV's being safe. I feel much safer driving my 3000 lb STi or 2100 lb Miata being able to avoid or stop for unexpected circumstances than I ever have driving a 5000 lb truck or SUV (SUV being a BMW X5, one of the better handling, better braking SUV's). The reasons SUV's are better in crash tests is that they have more mass. What they don't take into account is that you're far less likely to be able to avoid a bad situation.

Re: buying an suv
This thread died 2 years ago. The thread starter, asking for advise, only has one post. He probably never even read any of the replies 2 years ago.
Let dead threads lie.....and how did you even find it, anyway. Thread closed. |
