if you live anywhere that suffers for 6 months of the year with snow and 4 months with freeze/thaw cycles (some overlap there) the terrible condition of the roads takes its toll on a car with 17" wheels and stiff Aero suspension. I grit my teeth and slow down a lot on my daily commute. My '01 lpt with 16" wheels is a LOT quieter and more solid than my '05 Aero (even at over double the mileage) as it's not beat up so much by the STIFF ride.
U.S. roads are uniformly far superior to what I see here. Yes, I've been to Chicago.
It's a mystery to me how people can survive 18" wheels and lowered suspensions. Pieces would fall off those cars the first day here.
