Ground clearence and road perseption

[Evanshall]

ive noticed something latly, between driving a taurus wagon, a Vibe GT, and riding in a Chevy 1500 and a S2000, ride hieght alown adds personality to your drive in ways that are unconventional, for example, when i get in the S2000 i feel like im snaking acrose the road with my nose touching the ground, if im in the Chevy 1500 i feel like im riding on a pedistal, being shown off to anything around us, as usually we are the tallest vehicle in traffic(i know this sounds self centered, but this is discriptive writing and im just trying to get the point across), therefor i pay attention to different things in different carsthe taurus(lower) and the Vibe(higher) being imbetween benchmarks,can any of you attest to a difference in driving atmosphere (besides just better handling) after you lowered your Vibe? and was it In your opinion a good change

I was wondering the same thing. I like being higher than a car but not high like a truck but would 2.5in max make a big difference?
