I have had a few different vehciles: a minivan, two cars and a motorhome, whcih was definitely tall. I feel there is a lot to be said for a small SUV like a Toyota RAV4 or other small SUV or smaller minivan. Sitting up a little higher is a good thing, so long as the vehilce has good manouverability, the ability to quickly avoid an obstacle BUT maintain composure.

I have found that windsheilds that have long angle contribute towards glare. At work, we have Chevy Cavaliers, which are reasonably o.k. handling cars. Their drawback is the windshield. They prodice a lot of glare. This can be reduced by laying a piece of black cloth (like cloth used in a t-shirt) over the dash. I secure it with masking tape. This glare problem occurs in other cars, like our Hyundai Accent and Nissan Maxima. For me, the black cloth over the dash nearly elimiates the glare, so much so that I felt I could choose the car I wanted, namely the Maxima. Vroom, vroom. For your information, the interior clour of the Maxima is grey.

: : I should hopefully get my license in July. I will almost be 17 and my parents said they would help me get a car. But we were wondering what colors asre good for glare reduction and what shape the windsheild should be. (I thought they were all teh same shape but my dad said noso any advice would help) Also I have heard higher cars work best. Does andyone drive with a Jeep cherokee? How does that style of car work? Are there certain colors the interor should be? We would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks
