what ? nobody prefers it. there are people that tolerate it and those that don't know better. weight kills driving dynamics, everybody that claims otherwise does not care or did not drive a lightweight car.
Specialty vehicles like sports cars and offroad trucksand where payload rating is not a concern function much better the lighter they are though.
Of course because it's absolute nonsense. We spent the last several decades trying to make vehicles lighter for their size, and nobody loads their car with bricks and sandbags to get that "heavier feeling". Lower center of gravity is great but completely decoupled from the overall mass of the vehicle. The fact that the comment came back from downvote graveyard is a testament that not only will people say anything to support even a ludicrous claim, many others will support it without batting an eye.
Even if people don't understand the physics of why it works, the handling impacts are pretty apparent, especially out of low-speed city or heavy-traffic driving.
