My answer to shocks is to buy a car to fit ones needs. These little cars
have little parts that wear fast. They should be driven on good roads
with moderate loading.

The time to shift is when you buy the little car. Little cars have little
engines that can't pull a good sized load.

Replace the little car that fits in little places and uses little gas for
a decent size car that can be driven on back country roads, carry decent
loads and go up steep hills without straining its guts. Yes, it may use
more gas, so what. Think small, buy small, drive less.
