I'm currently borrowing a '99 RAV4 from my aunt, and it's great for hauling stuff around or carting around one or two ankle biters, but the back seat sucks for adults of any height.I rented a couple of RAV4s and loved them from a driver's perspective. I considered buying one until I rode in the back seat of a friend's. . I still don't understand the desire for the shitty soft rides and oversized cars. My dad has a mid-90s Lincoln Town Car, and while he loves the soft smooth ride as he's driving, I hate it since I feel that the car is constantly skidding no matter what the conditions. Besides, most American roads are designed to be long straightaways which de-emphasize the need for handling. If American roads are long straightaways, what's wrong with big, floaty cars? That's what they're designed to do best. I've noticed that newer full-sized cars, probably since they cater to old people and fleets rather than families, are a lot floatier than the '60s-'70s full-sizers I've driven or ridden in. I came close to buying a 1998 Deville, but I'll admit cornering was little iffy in it. My '94 Chrysler LHS handled like a sports car, and the '96 New Yorker that replaced it isn't quite as good (different target market), but it's way better than the Cadillac. I wonder how the new 300 handles. |
