Potholes in my local area are verging on moon craters, proper hold on to your pants stuff. I look like I'm trying to warm up my tyres by dodging them all, it has crossed my mind about trading in for something SUV like but I don't think I can do it. Estate + roof box is loads of room.
Headlights are a nightmare on B roads at night, probably solved by proper alignment I guess.

The fact that 99% either don’t know how to adjust them, or have cars that auto adjust in a way that doesn’t work means that being blinded by headlights is a problem unlikely to go away. Had a lift in an x3 recently and I was amazed at how ridiculous the headlights were. Why the beams are set at such a wide angle is beyond me - 30ft up the trees were being lit up clear as day around us.
I was pretty shocked at how little space a mate's Disco Sport had. Not to jump on the bandwagon, but this idea that people who need space by SUVs is such tosh. They also complained about potholes. I resisted asking what they expected when their 2tn of car was the smallest vehicle in their housing complex.
TBH even riding in a builder mates Ford pickup I was equally suprised by the lack of room. Their partner made a subtle dig mentioning their Passat had more space for people and luggage (although in fairness that also meant carrying building materials in the same space your kids breathe).
