Re: L5

If you live down such a road, then don’t buy it....

You will be in the 1% for whom this is the wrong car. For the other 99%, it’s great.

For example, my friend bought a BMW (rear wheel drive) lives up a hill that is a snow hazard. She is a good driver by the way, but finds that hill lethal in the snow. She decided she bought the wrong car, and changed to a 4x4.

Of *course* L5s can refuse to drive in dangerous circumstances. During the Beast from the East, half my friends stayed home. They *could* have made it with a lot of frayed nerves, but really would that have been a good idea.

Yes, there are people who *must* drive in those conditions. They are in the minority.
