Well, if 2 car journalists say its better then it must be true
People are allowed to have different opinions, just because a car journalist says something doesn't make it a fact which we must all agree with.
Also, when did shorter and wider become a particular plus point for a car?
Anyway, back on topic slightly, I like the look of the 4c but it does seem overpriced for what you are getting. I'd also like to see one with a car reg plate attached as I can't figure out where it would go on the front.
