Short or long-term

Hello dear G-meinde, I’m about to get a G. Actually it should be a gasoline tank before the MOPF 2001. But now I have noticed (and mainly the best wife of all) that the short viiieel is more beautiful than the long one. Space is enough for me with both, except that I can not accommodate the gas tank with the short without having much more space afterwards than in my oldie convertible. So if the short, then a later diesel. But now you read from and to different opinions on driving on the road (I assume that I have 95% road operation and 5% dirt roads, not really heavy terrain). One says that you can forget the short one on the road, which hoops like a rabbit. The other says, sure, quite as quiet as the long it does not run, for that it is more maneuverable and in the city also half way to use. And on good roads the comfort is always sufficient, despite short wheelstan ds. What do the experts say here: Hoppelhase or Pisten Raider?
