Someone with a bad back and other chronic pain issues does not just feel every bump, they tear up with pain at every bump.
Someone with those medical issues also can not squat down to get into a compact car or climb up into a truck.
For those people, large, American-made, V8, rear-wheel-drive cars are a blessing.
I do not have those issues, but I know several people who do.
- fooblaster 3y agoGiven the vast majority of new car sales in the US and SUVs and trucks, I'm skeptical that most are being purchased to cope with chronic back pain. Europeans have also not entirely abandoned the concept of vans, which although not as fun as a rear wheel drive hemi, are generally more comfortable, accessible, and efficient than SUVs.
