mechanical problem? I have only driven compact cars until I got a 95 Buick Century V6. It has 80,000 miles and any time I've had it tuned up, the mechanics say it's basically fine. But sometimes I drive my g/f's car which is a Honda Accord 2008, and the ride feels much sturdier, for instance handling, response, and especially the feel of the car on the road. It feels very solid. Afterwards, if I start driving my old Buick, I get the feeling that the car is 'floating.' Everything SEEMS OK mechanically, but I can hardly feel the tires touching the road, which gets me a little nervous. I like that feeling of being closer to the road, as though the car were 'hugging' it and I also like 'feeling' the road. Could this just be a matter of not being accustomed to driving a bigger car or an old American car, or a Buick, or could there be something wrong? The shocks seem OK.
