A big car on long highway drive is more comfortable.

Sometimes you just gotta make it work

Folding rear seats go help at times.

My sedan premium level even bigger than the small Mazda 3 also have limitation due to the rear cross beam lah. Cannot fit my MTB in the boot, need to take off wheels and place in the back seats.
B segment sedans no need to say lar.

In this case, I didn't even need to fold the rear seats

Honestly if can avoid folding, I'd prefer so as there's a baby chair mounted on the rear seat

Folding it down would be quite a hassle unmounting the baby seat

Dats why people are flocking to SUVs…

not necessary SUV is more comfortable on highway ya.
Sedan can be planted on the floor and nicer to drive
and suspension sedan can be comfort too. SUV sometimes too high, suspension have long travel. not so comfortable.

True, centre of gravity is inherently higher in an SUV.

To counter that, you’ll need air suspension with lowering function. That’s what I have on my Cayenne and it hugs the road like it’s on rails.

I like the looks of SUVs and the space inside, but they suck to drive unless its a Cayenne, Urus, etc. (even those are not as good as their smaller brethren).
Someone mentioned the Subaru XV cross-over, for me that handles like a boat compared to my sedans and hatch, not even comparable. But will probably get a RWD EV SUV sometime in the future. Hoping that one can stay planted due to the weight of the batteries on the car floor.

Yes I continue to buy same sedan
Yes it will still scrap the bottom but sedan have more benefits than SUV

SUV is more expensive, costlier to maintain, heavier, use more fuel, poor mileage, doesn't travel far, not easy to park and most people doesn't travel off-road with it (that's the original intension to build such vehicle)

I have a Cayenne and a Macan, and to a certain extent, the Macan is easier to place on narrower streets, but I can assure you, the handling on both are actually surprisingly good for an SUV. Especially the Cayenne, with its air suspension set up, while the Macan only has the PASM sports suspension.

Good to know but unfortunately, both are not within my budget right now. Planning to move to EV next year but need to see what cars are available at that juncture. In the meantime will sell-off my oldest sedan first. Would love to keep my Peugeot 308 T9 but that will probably need to make way for the EV. Roads in Klang Valley are congested everywhere, not so fun to drive nowadays unless late night / early morning. Mainly looking forward to low maintenance cost of running EVs.

Probably will never go back to sedan due to high driving position and easier to get in and out. My priorities over sedan's handling is better.

Using a sedan and will always go with sedan.

SUV over sedan. Handling, comfort etc on our local highways where there is not much you can do, both are pretty much similar. With SUV the right tyres matter a lot. And these are not cheap and make the drive and handling so much better.

Agree. The only drawbacks IMHO with an SUV are the higher fuel consumption because of the weight and aerodynamics as well as difficulty some may find having to climb up into the SUV, as opposed to flopping down into a sedan.

Always sedan as long as there's other driver on the road, it's not like we are situated in North America to enjoy long stretches of highways.

I can deploy defensive driving with a sedan since the center is within acceptable grip, vehicle is just a means of transport anyway so the easier it is repair, maintain and sustain the better it is as part of life arsenal.

Every car if you know its limitation can also deploy defensive driving, there are defensive training course in Malaysia which cater for different rides. When i bought my Xv, Subaru gave free defensive training and i learn how to proper do all those emergency maneuvering, learn about how ABS & VSC work and to drive in safe distance at highway and foresee at least 2 cars ahead to estimate the next move in my own car with the advisor/trainer sitting besides me. If all the car manufacturer give this kind of defensive training to all new car users, i believe the accident rate can reduce a lot.

Big SUV vs small SUV
Big Sedan vs small sedan.

Big is generally more comfortable on highway

Very subjective, majority maybe yes but for me & family if the suspension system sucks and drive like a boat even big SUV/sedan my family would be sick inside sitting for long hours. Like 1 case example my mom, even my cousins Volvo S80 fetch her from Penang until Genting, she complain the suspension too "comfort", halfway to Genting on the hill roads she already cannot tahan and vomit.
