A female driving a sedan?!?!
I don't know any female around us that drive anything but a crossover/suv. Once they get used to being high and encased in steel and realize it drives nicely without extreme body roll and need to muscle it through corners females rarely go back.
We started off with a Honda Civic and then I wanted a SUV for winter back when we graduated in 1993. Since then I have owned 6 cars and she is on her 4th SUV. I'm driving a SUV for the first time as the old XTerra was more reliable than the VW wagon. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GERMAN CAR!

Now that second winter is over my fiancée keeps asking me to take the top off but I'm not that kind of guy (yes I am).

My wife went from a 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX with the handling package, to a 2002 Lexus RX300 then over to a Porsche Cayman... sedan-SUV-sedan.
And she says she will definitely buy German again.
Mainly because Ford sends me Love Letters ALL the time... this showed up today:

My wife is one of the "rare" ones...!

My wife and I both have a Bronco. I bought the 7 speed. She won't drive it. I've offered over and over to teach her to drive a manual. One day.

I love cars, but it is a challenge surrounded by much taller crossovers. Being the smallest vehicle on the road can be concerning.

For some yes... defensive driving and constant situational awareness goes a long way.

Defensive driving = yielding to assholes.

While it's proper, here in Texas, I've just about stopped yielding to jerk 18 wheelers changing lanes while I'm in it. And people who stay in the "lane is closing" for 2 miles after the sign and expect me to let them in at the last minute. I'm over it.

I hear ya.... there are so many BAD drivers out there.
Hence a dash camera is in all of my vehicles... I trust no one on these crazy roads.

Yep, a dash cam is my next upgrade, and exactly why I bought the dash phone holder with three mounting positions.

I had my first 16mpg drive today on my 250 mile commute. All because I got into the correct lane and sat, shifting between 1st and 2nd gear and neutral for 45 minutes while people in the "closed lane" were speeding passed me. Very frustrating.

My wife hates driving and this is what she drives... and she picked it out...!!!!

I am NOT making this up.

As a fellow 350 owner, I have to ask. Which one do you like to drive more?

The Cayman is a 2017 and has 25,600 miles.
