And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    I have driven my mother’s little Juke around the US. I, personally, find that it is a peppy little thing, though it resembles an angry frog.

    I may have gotten lucky, but never had a problem with it through a couple Midwest winters.

    I’m just glad she isn’t driving a big ol Jeep or Escalade, which she would choose if left to her own devices. She is a small woman and thinks a big car gives her an advantage. Over what? I don’t know. I guess boomers are gonna boom.

      I live in the UK, and our roads are small. We had small cars:

      • the old mini
      • fiats Etc

      But SUVs seem overly large without the added benefit of 4x4, or the carrying capacity/utility of a pick up truck

      I hope the SUV trend goes… not everyone needs or wants a car that large!

        I remember last time I was in London (in the '00s), the streets are so narrow that the bus couldn’t get up the hill to the house where I was saying because too many cars were parked on the road and it wouldn’t fit. So I imagine SUVs in London are a nightmare.

        And this wasn’t even central London, this was Harrow.
