Are woefully wrong and here's why.

If you are going to spend 3 hours stuck in your car, you don't want to be in a small cheap uncomfortable supermini, you want something plush and nice, something that blocks outside perils and annoying sounds.

So I don't care how many times people tell me that I don't need a 5 meter sedan in São Paulo (11 million people fighting for room), because they are all wrong. Wrong and uncomfortable.

I can't argue with that logic, since most people do seem to ignore the inside of the car when it comes to this debate.

That's what I thought when I had my Buick. Quiet, soft seats, soft suspension, and a good radio. Perfect for city life. Also unlike so many new cars it had really good visibility because of a low beltline.

Well, if I can get a car with any size, I guess I will have to bear the woe of owning a Mercedes S63 AMG.

People also need to remember that the problem with roads and streets is one of width, not length. An S-Class takes up one lane just like a Fiat 500.

Big sedans are perfect for city traffic, what Buick was it?

LeSabre.

Doubt anyone isn't going to respect your authorita in a ZIL.

Especially when I can send them to Siberia, all while taking up 3 parking spaces.

Always remind the proletariat who calls the shots comrade.

Anyone else notice the Bentley plate on the Mercedes with the Mercedes hood ornament...?

Don't forget that these nice big luxury cars also have charcoal cabin filters to keep other's exhaust fumes and pollution out. So they are actually good for your health! And for those still wanting to be environmentally friendly, you can get diesel and hybrid versions of the S-class.

Fact: Lane-splitting motorcycles are the answer to city traffic.

For city traffic I would like to be in a Range Rover Sport. Still luxurios and big enough, but compact at the same time.

Yes. I am confused by this too.

Twingo doesn't look uncomfortable as a place to be.

I doubt sitting inside it for 3 hours is a confortable experience.

if I ever get the chance to find out I'll let you know.

And it has many things to keep you entertained.

Diesel is too noisy, but hybrid is perfect.

Until it rains, someone decides to change lanes or open their doors.

Then you must not have been in a modern Mercedes diesel. The ones in the last few years are very quiet. Most people can't even tell they're diesels, from sound or performance.

Government forbids diesel cars here so I based that on Top Gear reviews, guess I was wrong!

Which is why you pay attention and don't speed through it.
