![]() ![]() Probably down to to space and the also the more comfortable seating position, I guess. I have done many long drives in the 6 years I owned the Rapid and usually there was a bit of fatigue post a long drive, which is not the case with the Creta. Two main reasons, One, on the Highway the sedans may offer better handling and braking, but in terms of comfort for passengers and the driver, a Crossover is surely the better option. However, in the last 2 years I have been using a Creta 1.6 Diesel, and after nearly 18000kms of usage, my vote is firmly on for the Cross overs. My vote would have been for a Sedan 2 years ago, when I used to absolutely love my 1.6 TDI Rapid. This just wouldn't be a worry had it been a crossover with decent GC. The one with the puddle ahead, almost made me skip a heartbeat, although I maneuvered successfully, but not sure if i'll be able to do it all the time without that screechy underbody scrape. My next car would certainly be a crossover, probably something that would have the luxury of AWD, to give in that peace of mind, which no 2wd can provide, especially while touring. There is no denying that a crossover is neither here, nor there but there are some crossovers which qualifies to be an enthusiast's pick (Ford Ecosport, Hyundai Venue (1.0 T-GDI), Jeep Compass), which are Fun to drive, and have that luxury of GC, also it wouldn't be a pain driving them in the city, unlike those Actual-SUVs. Even though I haven't faced any underbody scraping from my Rapid, I have to very careful while maneuvering those kerb-ish speed breakers, something that wouldn't be a bother at all in a crossover. With fantastic handling behaviour, and a very eager TSI motor, this is going to be my perfect touring companion.īut, if I were to pick any other vehicle, from the usually over-priced lot, I would definitely prefer a corssover. I was skeptical especially about the low GC, but now that I have adapted to Rapid, I no longer hold that doubt. After 3 months of ownership, I'm deeply satisfied with my purchase. What makes matters a little sweeter is the amazing ride quality of the safari.Ĭontrary to my vote, I recently got myself a Rapid Rider, for the immense value for money it offers. We do a lot of highway drives and almost always with no need for the extra 2 seats in the back, yet we choose the Safari for that job because the roads we need to take, we would never subject the city to.īut the pleasure of driving the comfy city is different. The Honda city rests in the basement parking because it's the papered car that gives us a sense of occasion everytime we're in it.īut coming out of the basement has you cringing heavily because you're worried if the belly will scrape when you're exiting the ramp. With both a low slung sedan and a body on frame in my garage, I'm spoilt for choice.īut that also gives me better clarity as to which is the better car.īy which I mean I haven't voted because it only leads to more and more confusion. Whereas highways are well paved and will suit a low slung sedan better NO one can bully you on the highway in a sedan simply because you'll zoom past them effortlessly.Īnd a suv will be better for the city just because you can travel in comfort over the bad roads. If you're going to be on the highways every now and then, the sedan is all you could want.īut if the car is your daily drive, high seating, good visibility with a big car will help a lot in the traffic filled streets of the town where people won't mess with you. This is the question that will answer everything for you. Is your car going to be a weekend warrior or a daily? ![]()
