When it comes to driving in Kent, OH, a compact car is the ideal choice for several reasons. Kent's roads tend to be narrower than those in larger cities, so a smaller vehicle can make it easier to navigate through tight spaces and navigate tricky intersections. Additionally, Kent's location in Northeast Ohio means that the city can experience heavy snowfall and icy conditions during the winter.  A compact car can provide a lower center of gravity, which can make it easier to handle in slippery conditions.
