It's only safe if you hit another one. ;D

The polar opposite of buying a 4x4 because it's safe  :D

To be honest so did I but I lost the back end on a patch of diesel on a country road and wrote it off after hitting a tree.

Very compfy with all the gagets but it was not the best made car I ever owned ;D ;D Come to think of it it wasn't the greatest road holding one either :D :D ;D ;D
