Poll of the Day > Do you like the "feel" of cars or of taller vehicles?

(+) Yeah! (+)

.....i've driven both and i prefer the feel of cars
---

I much prefer lower and smaller cars.

Ive owned a compact car(1997 nissan sentra), a regular sized car(2010 malibu) and an SUV (2005 chevy trailblazer) and easily the one i enjoyed driving the most was the Sentra.

I own an SUV and I prefer it to my old Civic. I like being able to see farther by having a higher vantage plus I can carry a lot more useless junk
---

I prefer driving smaller cars, and being a passenger in bigger cars.
---

Lower for racing, higher for city driving.
---

in general, i prefer cars to trucks or vans, but my favorite car that I've owned was probably the Honda CRV I got from my mom when I first learned to drive.
---

Even without getting into the feel, I find I fit better in larger vehicles. In small ones, I often find I'm so high up in the car that I've got more blind spots in the windshield than I'd like.
---

I like stuff in the middle. Most PickUps and SUVs are too high, and I hate being low. I have a Honda CR-V and I love it and cars around it's height.
---

My parents had always purchased SUVs. So I'm accustomed to their height and feel. So confortable, spacious...

Where I grew up and still live, SUVs are the kings of the roads; Land Cruiser, Range Rover and Patrol.

For me, personally, I love SUVs. I've grown up in Land Cruisers and I've only driven Prado (s) and my KIA.

My sister and brother have the Dodge Challenger and Toyota 86 and I just dislike it. I feel as though I'm sitting on the floor. XD

Currently, I'm having the KIA Sportage but that's more on practicality rather than preference.
---

I like the feel of cars, but prefer the visibility of a truck.

In the end, I decided to go with a car since the handling and maneuverability is way better.
---

I learned how to drive in a full size chevy van (one of those ones meant for vacations with 6 kids) and drove that for the first year or so

I prefer my prius C over that
---

I like cars, something that can fit into tight spaces and I am not afraid to throw around a bit on the twists and turns of the open road.
---

Lower and smaller, however it SUUUUUUCKS when you need to turn left at night and some SUV or Pickup is right there and you turn and it blinds you. Also sometimes if one gets behind you and their lights blind you in the rearview mirror.

I prefer cars.

Trucks. I like to be able to haul large things and they are more practical for where I live.

On the freeway, I definitely prefer my dad's MDX for safety purposes. My car is fairly low and lacks visibility, though it's much more nimble.
---

I drive a Mercury Villager, but honestly I would much rather drive a car or something else equally small and low to the ground.

Basically this. I own a 2016 Subaru BRZ and also a 2013 Dodge Journey (an SUV) and while the Dodge is comfortable, the BRZ is the best driving car I've ever been in. It's just so pleasing to drive a sporty car with tight handling.

I have a F250 four door long bed and a Kia Sorento

I like them both

Honestly, I can't decide. My 2 favorite vehicles I've ever owned were an 89 civic hatch with a 4 speed manual that I swapped out for a 5 speed out of a wrecked crx. That car was magical. It wasn't fast, but it was peppy, cornered like it was on rails, and I just loved everything about it. I put 175,000 miles onto it, (on top of the 180k it already had when I bought it.) even when I finally broke into the 6 figures I still kept running it because I liked it so much. Rust got it, it was a sad day when I had to junk it. My other favorite was a lifted 93 f250 with a built 460 and 37" military tires. It got about 9mpg lol. I pulled a dump truck out of a ditch with it, and beat a corvette at the drag strip on the same day. Same story as the honda, rust got it. I'm currently running a 13 impala ex cruiser with the side light still on it. Owning the left lane is nice, but I'm not really loving the car.
---

I hate tall vehicles. As someone who still isn't licensed (I'll be on my third learner's permit) I feel so much more secure when the car is lower to the ground.

For fully one type over the other(and not a mix between the 2), car over an SUV. Although I can see why some prefer SUVs, for the fact they offer a higher vantage point.

Personally, I kinda like cars that are a mix('crossover', as people often call them), between a regular car and an SUV. For example like a Nissan Murano, Subaru Outback(brother's girlfriend has one btw), etc. And it still allows a vantage point, where less often versus a traditional car, you get blocked by a big vehicle in front, back, or the side of you.
---

I like smaller vehicles better but I think for a longer trip I would prefer a larger vehicle because it would just seem to be safer.
---

Trucks. I don't like worrying about a radiator going through my head if I'm t-boned.

small cars are the best. even my early 90s camry is too heavy for my taste
---

I don't like driving in general.
---

I liked blasting tunes while riding on scooters in BF: Vietnam with my best buddy. We got exploded by an enemy LAW while doing this in the middle of a large battle and I immediately typed "I fought the law and the law won" (a lyric from one of the in-game licensed tracks) to an uproarious text applause from the chatbox. It's probably in my top 10 comedy moments of all time.

Even? Camrys were mid-size then, most people drive compacts (multiple levels lower).

^ An early 90s camry is a little smaller than a new hyundai accent.
---

Ive had some very low cars (300zx's) but I love my SUVs (well, Jeeps).

well the most popular cars in the US and Canada nowadays seem to be crossover SUVs like the RAV4, Rogue, and CRV. Big trucks too. Even newer compacts have gotten quite bulky. My mom's Corolla Matrix is small but drives like a minivan. And the new camrys are pretty huge compared to the older ones.

A lot of those are Japanese cars, they have notoriously gotten bigger over the years while most other brands have gotten smaller.

Trucks are an exception though, I looked at the latest F-150 and my first thought was that it was a 350 because of how big they had gotten.

They've always been like that, the only major difference between the 150, 250 and the 350 is the suspension and brakes
---

I never really thought about it. I definitely don't like riding in those enormous pickups with the giant wheels where the door is like two feet off the ground
---

I prefer cars but I don't want to be so low to the ground speed bumps become my mortal enemy
