[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't just lump all luxury cars together. A mercedes, bmw, or audi (on average - not all models) are going to handle better than a toyota, honda or ford. They have better engines, brakes, and more extensive options that make them not only more comfortable but also safer (again, not always but on average).

OP you sound like my parents. They literally do not understand the difference between my mom's Toyota Sienna and my wife's Audi SQ5. If I drive my mom's van like my wife's SUV, the thing just about flips over around every turn or slides off the road. The same is true of my dad's Honda accord, which isn't even an SUV. I have to be really careful watching my speed around curves in those cars to avoid literally killing myself and the passengers. A couple of close calls I have had to slam on brakes which on our Audi and Porsche would have safely and predictably brought the cars to a halt. On my parents honda and toyota I have experienced not only SKIDDING down the road on the crappy tires and brakes, but nearly losing control of steering because they are just so badly made.

In addition, when I have rented standard Ford and Toyota cars, I find that they become unwieldy at high speeds. A couple of times their steering wheels begin vibrating at speeds over 75mph. They're just not well engineered or intended to be pushed hard.

So, on top of the interiors feeling way nicer and the cars generally being faster and more exciting, there are significantly poorer quality of engineering and technology in non-luxury cars that make for bad driving and dangerous situations. People who have only owned these crappy cars don't understand this because they think it's normal to have to brake 50 feet earlier, watch your speed around a normal curve, etc. It's not normal - it's just because your car sucks[/quote]

You realize you just wrote multiple paragraphs about how you drive like an a-hole, right? I have never nearly flipped a car or slid off the road and the number of times I have had to slam on the brakes is incredibly small and has never resulted in skidding down the road and nearly losing control. This is not how you should be driving on roads that you share with other people, no matter what car you are driving. [/quote]
