guys what' more important?
the safety features of the car or one's driving style? i say this because on this forum if you drive a citi then you are labelled to be a hazard to other road users
Driving style is the most important IMO, BUT your car makes a big difference too. Taking two equally cautious drivers, one in a car with ABS and other electronic driver aids and one without - the driver with the extra assistance will be safer, both for him/her self and for other road users.
Taking into consideration that many Citi owners buy Citis because they are "faster" than other economy cars - you have a situation with typically young inexperienced windgats driving the fastest car they can afford which also happens to have no safety features or driver aids. This = FAIL.

But drop suspension, mags, freeflow are all important features...

Safety features and driving style aside!
Logic will save your ass 90% of the time!
Example: Logic dictates that you yield to cars already in a traffic circle. Not them yield to you!

S hitty Golf, ja.
The most important thing is to understand the basics of driving a car. (like turning a steering wheel, using a handbrake, knowing what a stop sign looks like and knowing that the speed limit is 120 km/h on a highway, whether in a car or a truck.....)

Using the handbrake? What to make those extra tight turns or at a robot?
Damn i never use my handbrake, most important thing is knowing the limitation on your car and not pushing the boundaries too much. There is a speed limit on highways?

O another thing, never hesitate, either do or do not do it.
If you have doubt in your mind don't do it.
