I suspect that individual expectation and taste affect other purchases.
For another example, I bought my first Corvair impulsively. I wasn't
looking for a car and the seller was short of cash. I took to the
handling and road feel right away, before I knew much of the Corvair
platform's features and foibles.

My purchase of my Corsa went the opposite way. As an engineering student
interested in cars, I was very happy that American automotive industry
had finally done something more interesting and creative than "engine in
front, solid axle rear." And I liked the looks of the 2nd generation
Corvairs.

When I could finally afford to buy a car, I actually looked for some
used European sports car, but I couldn't find one that was not rusted
out or otherwise in bad shape. I did find a good Corvair, and was very
happy with my choice.

But regarding "feel," the Corsa was as different from other Detroit
offerings as your Pogliaghi was from a Schwinn single speed cruiser. As
I've tried (and tried!) to make clear, most of my remarks have been
about people judging between two products that are quite similar.

I bought a new new '66' Corvair Monza coup. A friend let me drive his
Porche 911. I was very impressed, but I couldn't afford a 911, and
frankly, the Corvair was better looking than the early 911s.

I traded it when I decided I needed a pickup truck. I don't know how
anyone gets along without a pickup truck or a van.
