That big cars (SUVs, trucks, etc.) suck to drive should be common knowledge but somehow isn’t.

I love my GTI (on my second). I also couldn't imagine 16 year old me with a GTI.
Posted by illinibone on May 3, 2024, 10:57:02, in reply to "So I got a second car. Which will be mini's car when he gets his license. It's so much fun." The Mk7.5 is even more fun than the Mk5 I replaced. I almost got a Mk8, but I kept accidentally hitting steering wheel buttons while I was test driving. It was even more fun from a handling perspective, though.
