I don't get owning a car. Other than hauling some people and some groceries they're pretty useless. I have a Subaru Forester Wilderness and it's roomy, and it holds my Lab. I keep the back seats folded down. It's not going to tip over except in extreme cases that would also tip over a car. And it's easy to get in and out of, as opposed to a car. The visibility is also superb. Much better than a car. But in reality, with today's technology, visibility isn't the factor it used to be. I have adaptive cruise control, lane centering, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, rear parking sensors, front camera, rear automatic braking and a lot more safety features. Its all wheel drive gets me through winter driving conditions with ease. And I can take it to plenty of places that would leave a sedan stuck.
I’m kind of with you there. I have four cars. The one I like to drive the most is my 2006 Scion xb. Good mileage, easy to get in out of, etc. My wife drives a Scion ia. We’ve driven that thing from our home in Kentucky to Seattle twice, to fort Lauderdale a couple of times, to the south end of texas, etc. One of the reasons we bought that one is cuz it’s small and very efficient but it also feels a little bit like a big car. Very comfortable on the road and gets fantastic mileage.
Meanwhile, all I use my Silverado Z71 4 is driving from my house to the hardware store or perhaps pulling logs and stumps on my property because it gets terrible mileage but it does have its usefulness.
