    No but you prefered that to an Accord or a whatever else there is in the US market...

    I drove a Volvo truck last weekend, unsure of exact model but it looked pretty similar to this one. my brother works for a transit company specialising in basically moving f**king huge stuff so they've got quite a few impressive trucks there. Bit complicated getting them started and warmed up and all that but once you get going they're pretty easy to drive. 12 speed gearbox was interesting to say the least!

    First time I drove with a trailer it was a decently long one (about 18 feet) and going from my jeep to that was a struggle. My jeep drives like it's 3 feet long and then getting into a full size pickup with an 18 foot trailer I hit the curb a few times.

    - Worst gearbox in the world ( throw between gears was at least half a metre, in 2nd/4th/Reverse the gearstick was lying horizontal
    - Noisey (I think the silencer has a hole)
    - Steering felt un-connected
    - Felt flimsy and unsteady

    -Woeful gearbox, I thought it was an Auto, but it wouldn't creep or change gear by itself, throttle waaaaaaay too sensitive, gearbox slow and jerky, because I was prompting gear changes, forgot the lack of clutch/enlarged brake, went for the clutch and stamped on the brake instead, i hit the wheel hard.. Ouch

    2007 Nissan Micra 1.2
    - Nippy
    - Fun
    - Cheap & Cheerful

    Thing about that is that you dont have to be in a wet field..

    There are great inventions.. called corners.. RWD + right foot = win.

    However as IIRC you can't keep a little FWD off the kerbs maybe you shouldn't try that.

    I had a great time in a wet field with a ute once.. and it was an '82 diesel Ford Courier (Mazda B200 I think with a new badge). It was great.. luckily it was a nice open field, cos there was no way I was going to be able to do anything evasive with that thing.

    The latest car I've driven (aside form the Delta but that'll get its own thread soon) is a Peugeot 307 1.6. Only for a short diastance and didn't get to play with it much, but my strongest impression is that it was very french, I mean very soft in every sense. The cabin had an airy feel and it wasn't very fast.
