American culture. There are aspects of it to both love and hate. While I detest multi-channel TV showing nothing but adverts, theatrical politicians and traffic cops with guns, when it comes to chrome-plated diners, rock 'n' roll and cars that put style over substance, I'm with the Yanks all the way.

Cons
  • We don't like: Clumsy handling, cheap plastics, huge steering wheel, boot, stereo (when it doesn't)
