Swede here, I love driving, 100% love it, I don't drive in the city unless I need to (last time I had to was three time last summer), we have excellent public transport, there very limited need to drive in the city.
My favorite roads to drive are suburban and rural roads, they are fun and interesting .
I have a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV Hatchback, a great little car, and I hate the massive pickup cars from the US.
Just look at a comparison between my car and a F-150:
https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/seat-leon-2020-5-door-hatchback-vs-ford-f150-2017-4-door-pickup-supercrew-5.5-raptor/
(This was the only F-150 model that was closest to the year my car was made.)
The F-150 is insane, the bonnet is at the same height as my car's roof.
It's even better when people over here put massive lifts on them, to the point that the floor is at small-car roof level (or human head level). I love the massive lift and huge wheels with skinny tires combo. You can't go offroading, tow stuff, or use the truck bed!
