I'll always choose height for my car because I want comfort. My top priority when driving is safety for everybody, as in doing all my best to prevent accidents. My second priority is personal comfort, which helps in guaranteeing the fi

I drove a Prius only once, for around ten minutes. I used to dislike the Prius, but following that short experience I now hate it from the deepest of my heart. The Prius is an abomination, because it is too low to be comfortable and because
