hey. i dont know about you, but i think cars are just too small and low for medium-tolarge built men. yes it could accomodate 4 adults (8 for sardines effect) comfortably but ingress/egress is just gonna give u the cramps. i have nothing against cars, really. i love them. i do. but the thing is, its just not gonna cut it in terms of being manly and intimidating. Thats from a personal point of view. Im more into SUV, and thats where we have another big problem. cho0sing the right SUV. You see, we now have a vast array of SUVs to choose from. from the sleek and sexy design of toyota fortuner to the bad boy out-of-school youth effect of montero. we just have a lot of them now! It has its advantages, and disadvantages as well.
Now, having done my homework, i have filtered the candidates for our pick. And the choices are: Toyota fortuner, Isuzu alterra, and hyundai santa fe.
santa fe might be the odd one out, but the price sure gets it in line. Yes i know, youre saying that fortuner would definitely win,and i dont blame. the rest of humanity does not blame you. But alterra and santa fe are also fighting it out in their own leagues. The alterra boasts a class-leading entertainment system, their flexi-ride suspernsion, and their famed 3.0 iteq dDi diesel engine. While on the other side we have the santa fe, with a diesel or petrol option. stylish, comfy and well-equipped.

The best choice of vehicle is the one that provides for your personal needs, I am only 5'4 woman and I can't stand that we have to pretzel ourselves to get into and out of even larger cars never mind the smaller or mid size ones.
So go for what fits your most comfortably, then provides for your other needs as well, whether it be fuel efficency, or handling, or even looks, that is usually the best way because if you are not happy with your choice, you won't be able to really enjoy and relax any way, so you would still tense up and defeat the purpose of finally having a vehicle where you do not have to be as bendable as the old stretch armstrong doll.
