Media largely responsible for failing large car segment

[ck11]

A lot of people have said that owning a large car allows you to enjoy greater power and comfort. Our family has a large car and i love the torque and effortless of crusing of large V6, but there is no way that anyone within a 30-40km radius of the sydney cbd could claim that a large v6 is needed. It might feel good for the ego, but definitely a waste of money unless you had three adult kids.

With huge population density, i am lucky to find a road where i can use the potential of a V6 without being labelled a hooligan or criminal. There are a ridiculous number of traffic lights, speed changes etc. Yes it feels good to stab the pedal and enjoy the torque but before you know it the car has reached the speed limit. I find it frustrating knowing the car has so much potential that isnt used.

People argue that a large car is ideal for long distance, but how often do people in the current fuel climate drive 1000kms etc. I would just hire a large car for the once or twice drive.

I am keen on buying a car and have always wanted to buy a large v6 even if itcosts more as the enjoyment would be worth it. But have realised that unless i go on long interstate drives, the fuel cost just isnt worth it. Frustratingly our traffic wont even allow me to enjoy the potential of a large car. A honda accord (manual) or equivalent would do the job nicely.
