I'm not advocating putting a 335 in the hands of a hormonal disaster on legs. Teenagers cannot and shouldn't be trusted to handle what was not so long ago exotic territory. If I had a 300hp RWD car when I was 18, I'd be dead by now
Teenagers have poor judgment, that's a fact of life. Risk is mitigated with a random sedan that doesn't overpower them.
Now, SUV are heavy AND powerful. That means that they can accelerate quickly, but cannot handle or break accordingly. Blanket statement, if you consider a Mazda cx5, it's less of an issue. Beside the high center of gravity it is quite a safe machinery.

Train suspension? What does that even mean? [...] live rear axle with leaf springs or coils.

You just found it yourself, I see. This is a technology that should be reserved to trucks, not to passenger cars.
