Hard disagree. My dad's grand caravan feels straight up unsafe most of the time because it's so heavy, like I'll just plow through things instead of getting out of the way or stopping. My Mazdaspeed3 in comparison can zip around hazards and stop on a dime because it's literally almost half as heavy.
my granddad had a 5-cylinder diesel automatic SUV which easily weighed 2 tons. it did not feel like the car even wanted to move at all.
meanwhile my 1L 4-cylinder manual with a weight of not even 1 ton feels like i could outmaneuver anything.
Thats because its a chrysler. A grand caravan at that. No minivan has ever drove well.
