Everything else feels like driving a bus!
 
Anyone else notice that when the drive another car, even one you had driven before the BRZ, that it feels like a bus??

Drove my wife's CRV yesterday and asked her "when did we buy a grayhound?"

lol, yep, been driving my pickup truck for a month now because it's winter...I feel like I'm driving a WWII M4 Sherman Tank.

there is an element of truth in this! car actually "feels quicker than what it is,
and the sensation of control,and fluidity in motion is incredible! what a f**king
car!

Lol true, I sat in my Nissan Altima and I was like why is this so high? but the seat was already at the lowest position.

Kind of dangerous too when you drive other cars like the FR-S/BRZ since it doesn't handle the same... lol

My corolla feels that way now, the body roll and the turning radius really kills me. Feels like im driving a boat sometimes.

Time to trade in the CRV for the new FXT :thumbup:

When I'm in my lowered GTI, I feel like I'm driving a SUV.

My wife has a CR-V as well, and I thought there were suspension problems the first time I drove it, after driving my BRZ for a while. It doesn't though...just a very strange sensation. Brake pedal feel is also really odd to get used to.

Started thinking about replacing it with the new Forester turbo!

drove a Sequoia to the mountain today, that thing pretty much is a bus and felt HUGE.

Scared myself on more than a few exit ramps.

Now driving my wife's Prius, it feels like driving a handicap supermarket shopping cart. Of course I keep my mouth shut. Lol, the reverse beep beep thing...

Khazzy 01-13-2013 09:04 PM

I had the same feeling as soon as I started driving my BRZ after picking it up yesterday. I was driving an 06 Tundra, now being in this, it is night and day. My 99 Integra was no where near the responsiveness as this vehicle. I still smile looking at it before I hop in knowing...I am going to enjoy my 6 minute drive to work haha.

Our Fit feels like a minivan.
