Driving a 4x4...

[WhereDidTheGoodTimesGo]

AIBU to think if you've only driven a small car for 20 years then it's a big leap to start driving a 4x4 (even a compact SUV)?

DH thinks it's no big deal but I'm nervous. I do need a 4x4 as we've moved rurally and my old, teeny tiny Fiesta is not coping...I know it's not a big deal but it's far out my comfort zone.

Parking and manoeuvring along narrow country lanes are my biggest worries...am I overthinking? I can practice of course but I don't want to be 'that' driver, with a car too big for them...will I get used to it?

I've test driven quite a few now and it feels like the car is a HGV!

I went from a mini to the jeep renegade and honestly it's the best car I've ever owned. On those narrow country roads it could swerve off into a grass verge or ditch without even batting an eyelid if you came across another car. Drive across fields or byways, as smooth as butter. Through the Ford at 3ft, no probs.

It's honestly one of my favourite cars I've ever owned. The only reason I since swapped it was to go electric, and I still miss it to this day. You'll be fine.

😁She could currently buy and drive a top line combine harvester with no L plates needed on her category so.....

I drive a fiesta but also will drive my husband's automatic range range rover. Can be confusing when I try to change the gears 🤣🤣🤣 but doesn't bother me, I prefer it as I feel safer and people move over for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
