Many cars look like they will be an absolute explosion to drive. They have slender lines or large aggressive grilles, all the things that our brains signal to believe that a car will be a real performer. But when they slide behind the wheel, those cars cannot always cash in the checks who write their styling. Today we ask you: what is the worst perpetrator, with a driving experience that the styling does not live up to?
For my choice I want to go with the Subaru Solterra. However, I don’t want to talk about the new facelifting Solterra. First of all, I did not drive it, but more importantly, the styling is so different that I do not think that the same relationship between look-to-performance applies. The Early Solterra, however, I drove the road, off-road, I have placed the car through the steps that a Subaru would have, and the pre-facelift Solterra where simply does not make the promise of his black plastic mudguards.
It’s fine.
The early Solterra creates this image of an off-road-ready, rough and tumbling EV. If a fan of fully electric off-road (and an old member of Subie Squad), you would think that I would be the target market for such a vehicle. But when I jumped into the driver’s seat and took the crossover around Catalina Island and the mainland of California, it was … great. It was certainly a vehicle. One of the cars of all time, even.
My choice for a car with a driving experience that does not live up to the styling is the early Subaru Solterra, but I am curious what your choice is. Leave your answers in the comments below and I will choose my favorites later in the week. Bonus points if you have actually driven the car that you are talking about and not only to the second -hand refers what reviewers said when they had to make a turn in the driver’s seat.
