Sorry if I wasn't clear - I don't really have a problem with mini-vans though most people don't really need or use the capacity they have either.  I was responding to the numerous earlier posters telling the OP to stratch that insecurity itch and get a wasteful SUV.

FWIW we have had grandparents in town and needed a bigger car.  So we rent a mini-van for the weekend or even week.  I think in 12 years of having kids we've had to do that 3 times and it was certainly a lot less expensive and wasteful than keeping something around that we only very rarely actually need.  Even our station wagon is almost exclusively driven by a solo driver or even with passengers passengers with minimal luggage - it probably would not be hard for us to get by with a compact car for 95% of the trips we take.[/quote]

Fair enough, I certainly see your point about SUVs (which to me seem to be the worst of all worlds). My point was just that there are plenty of us who use the full capacity of our minivans regularly, with local families or carpools or just hauling stuff around (because we're the ones with the big car and can do that). The way I look at it, my minivan enables some of my friends to keep driving their smaller cars, because if our kids need to get somewhere in a group, they can all ride with me. :)[/quote]
