And Honda drivers tend to drive their cars harder and wear out tires and brakes faster. That said, Honda brakes are some of the worst and Toyotas some of the best with respect to durability. Friends of mine with a CRV also remarked about poor tire wear. They needed more room and bought an AWD Sienna which they say is superior in every way except mpg. ?? your being sarcastic right? honda's handle better than toyotas? |
but feel free to rant away and tell us about how well that old 4Runner
handles.
heh.

but impossible to control will qualify by your definition as having
great handling.
Great handling means remaining in control and being able to precisely
control the car even during agressive maneuvering. The car shouldn't
roll excesively, it should go where you would expect it to,
and it should remain predictable during hard braking or acceleration.

think it's safe to say that in their hands the CRV and Sienna deliver
just about the same level of handling.

definition. Entirely dependent on the driver.

Acceleration (postive and negative) in the direction of movement are
completely beside the point. Lateral G is commonly measured most accurately
on a skid pad in a constant radius turn while *slowly* gaining speed.
