Comment on No need to be rude
kameecoding@lemmy.world 7 hours agoBased on my lived experience I don’t think it’s as much as the brand as it is the horsepower available to you, I have owned a Kia Stinger briefly, that’s a fucking Kia, even though Albert Biermann former head of BMW’s M division helped create it, but it had a V6 engine and 370hp stock, if you put your foot down it roared and kept pulling even above 160km/h.
The thing was I bought it as a weekend fun car, but shortly after I had to change work and needed to commute to work and let me tell you, it’s hard to drive a car like that calmly. There was even a psychological effect that “I can’t let this Ford Craprerra overtake me”
And yeah, with that amount of power at your feet, everyone else is in the way and blocking you.

I basically feel the same way driving an Audi. I used to drive shitbox 90s-era Nissan Sentras but after ~5 years with the Audi it’s close to impossible not to drive like a complete douche in heavy traffic. More generally I think vehicles with turbos just put you on another level.
