to me they are a disgrace and have been proved to be the most unsafe car. tests show 4wd and suv's are more likley to tip in a car crash , and the person on the other end of the crash has little chance of surviving. I understand ppl on farms and the outback having them because they have a real use for it.
i think there unsafe and should be banned. |

I'll tell you why people buy four wheel drives:
You have a big family, a few kids. You need a big car. Your car is a reflection of your personality. What image does a people mover or van project? "I'm a loser with lots of kids and no life because I drive a ty slow van that's nice and sensible." Not wanting to project this image to others, you go and buy a 4wd because it's got almost as much space for the kids, but gives you that "wild, break-free, I could go cruising sand dunes and climbing rock hills and escape down dirt tracks right now if I wanted to" image. 95% of people who buy 4wds never do any of this, but buying the 4wd in the first place makes you think that you can.
So there you have it :)
Sorry you asked? :D |

I think that people that drive 4wds need a course or something similar to teach them how to drive one. Ive seen people driving around corners at around 50-60 kms an hour in 4wds drives and think to my self that they will eventually roll their their precious vehicle and crack their heads open. Maybe that will teach them?
Most people that buy 4wd's are ubran wanker yuppies and really should not be buying them in my opinion. |

I generally find that drivers of 4WD's think they are king of the road when they are on it. They think they have their own road rules cause they have a 4WD. Of course they are allowed to drive over gutters, along the pavement, and of course if there are no parks within 100 meters then just drive her up on the footpath and park her there. Hell even just stop in the middle of the road, throw her in park, go to the bank, come back and drive away, I mean that's all fine if you have a 4WD.
Yes yes I've seen all this plus much much much more!
If I ever by a 4WD then it's a signal that my life is over and someone shoot me now. I don't have any more capacity for logical thought. |

We are all talking about the big huge arse 4WDs that are actually used to go bush. Well there is also the small sports cars that rely a lot on 4WD to get the power down. For example a WRX or Evo 6/7. I wouldn't mind one of those.
True most ppl who buy the big 4WDs don't use them 4 their proper purpose. But it's as much a status thing as anything else, for example my friends dad got a Range Rover and now my dad wants one... like he'll ever use the bloody thing 4 it's actual purpose, or let me use it. I also agree that no one likes those gay people movers.
I wouldn't mind a 4WD, but I would use it for it's proper purpose... to go bush bashing.
And I wouldn't even look at the BMW, Merc tryhard 4WDs, even though they get good reviews... as if anyones going to take their Merc bush bashing, they cost too much..and what if u scratched it???!!? Now even Porsche are bringing out a 4WD (And they look totally gay, it's like a 4WD with the front of a 911 Carrera bolted onto the front)... what a joke. |
