Years ago I took a shuttle ride from O'Hare international to downtown in a Dodge 15 passenger van. I asked the driver how he like the Dodge and expected him to say that it did not handle well with the short wheelbase. He told me that he preferred the Dodge over the Ford or Chevy. He especially disliked the room that the Chevy needed to turn around. I have never driven the Chevy but I have no complaints about the way my Ford handles and I believe that the shorter wheelbase is a plus in many situations.
