You’re right. Different cars are designed for different places. You want a small efficient car in the city, and a comfy cruising car on the highway.

I’ve driven both types on their home turf and in the wrong environment and it makes a huge difference.

The only truly bad type of car is an SUV. Bad everywhere.

My Ford Expedition is perfect for hauling a trailer, my family and our dogs. It has third row seating so my three kids aren’t all squished on one bench while the second heater/blower in the back is an absolute godsend when it’s -25F, as is the 4x4 when (not if) I get stuck
