[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. OP clearly struck a few nerves on this thread.

I don't drive an SUV and rarely struggle for space in our car. Serious question for the SUV drivers here: why do you feel it's so much more convenient than a regular car?[/quote]

I’ll bite. I prefer being higher up, especially with all of the trucks, minivans, buses, and [b]other taller vehicles on the road[/b]. We are all tall and feel cramped in sedans and I cannot stand being so low to the ground when I drive. My SUV has a better turning radius and visibility than any car I’ve ever owned. We make multiple road trips up north and I prefer the AWD of my SUV than FWD and even AWD in some sedans. Our 75lb dog fits well in the 3rd row while the family can sit in the middle row. [/quote]

We moved to Maryland from Texas many years ago. At the time we loved that, unlike in Texas, you could actually see traffic ahead of you from a sedan because there were significantly fewer SUVs and large trucks on the road. But now, because of this escalation of SUV purchase, the problem is just as bad here now.[/quote]

This, in buying an SUV to sit up high, you are just escalating the very problem you are trying to solve. There will always be a larger, taller vehicle and unless you are willing to just keep buying larger and larger autos, you will still wind up stuck in traffic surrounded by trucks and SUVs that make it impossible for you to see.[/quote]

The Clintons sent Chelsea to Sidwell instead of public and I'm not gonna risk my family's safety by driving a tiny car. Physics are physics. [/quote]

Physics shows how your SUV will tip over and roll even if you don’t even hit anything. You are just looking for justification of your preference.[/quote]
