Bigger vehicles feel better to drive.

If you like body roll, yeah. Otherwise they are worse overall.

I'd rather drive something smaller and more fun than some big lumbering hunk of metal and plastic.

Especially with how tall vehicles here are getting.

I'll stick with my Jetta and you do you, short king.

Bigger vehicles are less likely to feel the bumps in the shitty roads we have because everybody drives big vehicles that wear down the roads 10x as fast.
