Unlike what some so-called enthusiasts say, SUVs are great. They bring space, practicality, and most importantly, peace of mind when the going gets tough. The part that irks this writer to an extent is when car manufacturers attempt to put “Sport” back into “SUV.” The end result is oftentimes too much of a compromise – too stiff and yet not as dynamically capable as lower-riding sedans.
