"The small modern cars give most drivers a feel of confidence simply because the car is small."

Are you kidding me? Like a whole industry of engineers and developers really haven't made any progress over the last 1/2 century? American, european and asian companies included? I think things like independent suspension, much better tire/power/weight ratio of a VW GTI to a Packard, all the computer controls of engine, suspension and brakes and airbags also contribute to the feel of confidence that one has in a modern car big or small. I mean an old 33 1/3 vinyl record is nice to listen to at home, but not practical in an everyday commute on the road. Just like a packard is nice to enjoy for a cruise to a car show or for fun, but most (if not all) packards are not as practical for daily use as a modern car.
