<VV> <Aarrgghh!!> Autoweek ~ "ill-handling Corvair" - Really ?

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Part of it is, there are NO ill handling cars nowadays. At all. Probably haven't been in 30 years. And although I think all Corvairs have superb handling when maintained, an EM with soggy rear tires can be a handful, especially at the limit.

99% of people that drive cars wouldn't know an ill handling car from a great 
handling car.  I'll bet that a high percentage don't even know what handling 
means.  Maybe if people think Corvairs are dangerous they will stay out of my 
way!

People just assume that since there was a book written about the "ill-handling 
Corvair" that there was in fact something wrong with it.  The  person who wrote 
the article probably never saw or at least drove a Corvair in  his life and he 
probably knows nothing about it.  He just assumed that  since an ambulance 
chaser wrote a book about it how bad it is then it must be  true.
 
Like it or not the Corvair has a deserved or undeserved bad name.  The debate 
will not end here and will probably never end.  I've found that  Corvair 
aficionados  defend the Corvair (because they are knowledgeable about it) while 
people who  are ignorant of it assume that it is a bad car.
