Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

All soft roaders should be banned. Dangerous pieces of crap. Hope this one doesnt make it to our shores. Leave the 4wds for the farmers. they dont belong in cities.

Because?Originally posted by mrgolf View Post
Both our Outlander & Captiva have been much safer on dirt roads than any front driver or falcadore. Yeah, shock horror - we use them as intended.
7 seat capacity gets used often. Please don't suggest a people mover - tried that.... twice. Forget it - worst of all worlds.
I used to be an SUV biggot - my wife even more so. Then she was allocated one without choice (Captiva) and we are converts. Better than the hearses that were available from Ford & Holden at the time.
Maybe I could ask that all the passenger vehicles stay off dirt roads - you're holding me up.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

First things first. I dont drive on dirt roads.Originally posted by brad View Post
Because the vast majority of people who buy SUVs/ Urban Assault Vehicles buy them 'to see over traffic' making it more difficult for the average driver to see. Secondly because most people who buy them do so because it is a bit of a trend and they never use them to go off road at all. Look at the base model Territory which is RWD, not AWD. They are slightly better on dirt roads than a conventional car, but a 4wd they aint. Having used real 4wds in the bush, they are complete show pony's. The Forester was OK cos it wasnt ridiculoulsy high, but the new one is as bad as the rest.
Thirdly, if a soft roader t-bones a conventional city car, the consequences for occupants of the car are dire. This is selfishness on the part of the UAV owner. Especially since a lot put bull bars on their UAVs making them even worse.
Fourthly, a soft roader creates more pollution than a conventional car capacity to capacity, and have a bigger impact on roads in terms of wear and tear.
Fifthly, they arent safer for anyone. They dont handle like a conventional car and can be a lot less stable. They may be bigger than a conventional car and have more mass, as they are less stable, they are slightly more likely to be in an accident. And as pointed out earlier, they are at an awkward height and a lot have bull bars so are more dangerous for normal motorists.
Finally, they are no bigger than a conventional car in terms of interior space. There just isnt a reason to own one that is valid unless you actually go off bitumen (qualification for you, Brad) Unfortunately, a large proportion dont. Hence the Hyundai Tuscon 'City'.
A good family friend was t-boned by a 4wd and died. If the collision had been with a conventional car, he would probably be alive today. In fact, if it were a conventional car, it may not have lost control in the first place. Far fetched but an element of truth.
and, no busses and trucks shouldnt be banned cos they have a purpose.Euro look 2... Mk2 love!Comment

Oh, and the Yeti should also be banned cos it aint pretty.
