I definitely am more confident in rainy cold weather than other drivers. Gimmick laden sports sedans- nice. My wife has an accord and it doesn't have the steering weight and feedback at speed that the Saab does, and although it has quick reflexes, I find the suspension is bouncy (almost go-cart like) and definately takes second place on high speed turnpike treks. This may be due in part to the seating position that is completely wrong- at rest on the gas pedal my ankle always assumes an unnatural 45 degree pivot to the right. And the enormus reaches required to use the HVAC radio controls is frustrating. This isn't just limited to Hondas either. And don't get me started on the A-pillar angle and 5 mile long dashboards on so many new cars today (Civics, Priuses, and almost every Nissan products are notorious offenders). My Saab turned me into a Snaab.
