Are cars where you have to lay down slower?

[ejenner]

In my experience cars where the steering wheel is at a good height and you have good visibility and the peddals are down rather than forward tend to be easier to drive?

You just described a Transit

So in theory a Transit van is a better drive than a Lotus Exige?

I use hire cars for work as they work out cheaper than using my car. I always find them like a transit van as I feel so high and when I get back in my car I feel like I'm lying down.

Despite the lying down position of my car, it does feel faster. I'm not sure if it having 3 times the power of the typical hire cars has anything to do with it though?

I'm confused? Lay down?

[halo34]

Is that a statement or a question, or both at the same time?

I'd prefer the Transit, much more useful.

Well, you could put the Exige in the back.
Best of both worlds.

It's not that the overtaking car is faster. Just that the guy laying down is boring.

Personally I'd find the person that could be bothered to take the video and go to the effort of uploading it to YouTube would fall into that category.

Something to do with how one sits in the driver's seat...

I had a 10 year break in between my passenger videoing it and me uploading it this evening.

Not like it isn't obvious. Some people prioritise being a pedant above answering the obvious question.

I really don't understand it, but I hope you get your answer.

Or maybe I'm a pedant....
