Tell me again how a lagre car is not better than a small for distance travel. Better pick an example where the car is ACTUALLY "significantly" smaller eh! Better still, DON'T I can't argue with someone as totally ignorant of facts as you! OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

Yeah, no change in track, , -120mm WB from the Falcon as opposed to 80mm...and a further 5mm narrower than the Falcon making it a dramatic 28mm narrower. Your wife is really gonna be pissed when she finds there's no more straws in that broom. OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

I would have said that it was more like wallowing in the mountain of your own, but how ever you need to justify it, you still have the stench of bullshit all over yourself.

Now off you go, Noddy has a good dose and needs some cleaning. OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

I've had both large and small cars and whilst I agree that older large cars like the 1994 Fairlane I used to own was very comfortable I'd much rather drive on a long trip the much smaller 06 Subaru Impreza we had till recently. The Fairlane certainly had a better ride but the Impreza seats had much better support so the firm ride didn't bother me all that much because the seats were so good. Noise levels also make a big difference to comfort on long drives, small cars tended to be a lot noisier than large cars in the past but IMO that's much less of an issue with newer small cars. Another thing to consider is the improvement to the roads, the surface of most major highways is much better so you don't need soft suspension and a long wheel base to soak up the bumps. LWB doesn't always mean a good ride, my Hilux is longer overall than the Fairlane but the ride isn't exactly limousine like:-) Daryl |
