As the car loads up, the suspension lowers and the wheelbase does indeed increase. Apparently, with four passengers and their luggage(whatever that means :? )the car's wheelbase increases by 2inches, but the steering geometry also changes, the castor angle increases by 8 degrees, so neutralising any adverse influence the added weight might have on handling and road-holding :shock:
