The Attraction of an SUV

[Drago]

Thats a bit of a myth perpetuated by the motoring media. That can be the case, but its not universal.

As aforementioned, the volume of air is a more significant factor, large rims frequently being wider and thus allowing for a tyre with a greater air volume. In the case of the T6 the reinforced sidewalls required on the taller 16s are great for humping a pallet of goods but dire for ride comfort.

The 20" option on the Sportline models is generally reckoned to give a plusher ride than the 16s on the T28 Startline, and the 18s with fat 235 or 245 (depending on the exact model) are best of all, the ones those in the know go for. I have the 18s in 235 flavour and can confirm they're a different leage entirely from the heavy and crash feeling 16s.

My beef is the rise in owners who don’t have the skills and spatial awareness to drive a wider car on rural roads and just drive at oncoming road users forcing them to yield

Just wait until you see a Rolls Royce Cullinan in the metal for the first time...

fitting isnt necessarily the problem as you get older it just gets harder to get into or out of lower seat cars, there have been times Ive had lifts in Audi TTs or Jag Ftypes where Ive basically had to put one leg in and then try to flop unceremoniously to get in because theyre bucket seats and you cant scooch your rear in first, and then getting out is nearly rolling over and crawling out on my hands and knees, not the greatest way to make an entrance I can say that much.

Use the handle above the door to get in and out. That is what it is for.
