Hi everyone,
We just sold our Town &Country and are looking at the Nissan NV. We just took it for a test drive. My husband had no issues adjusting to driving a truck but it was MY first time and well, I didn't feel very comfortable... My DH told me that I have to take my time and no sudden movements! Since sudden movements may induce rollover. I did some research about rollover and according to the NHTSA the NV has a 2 star rating for rollover (30.6%). Not great of course but to be expected on such a big van.
So, now, I would love to hear if any of you ever had to avoid something on the road, if you've ever hit a curb and what the outcomes were. In other words, what is your experience with driving a big vehicle? I would love to hear any advice too!!
Should I worry about rollover? I read that one of the reasons for rollover are inexperienced drivers, well, I've been driving for over 15 years but I never drove something bigger than my T&C...
Also, is it possible to park such a big van between two other vehicles on a regular Texan parking lot (grocery stores, mall,...)? I tried several times but failed quite miserably... I have to get my orange cones out again
TIA,
Mag
