What is your main complaint re; SUV's? Mileage? Size?

I don't know about the original poster, but my main complaint is that I feel like I need to have a periscope installed in my car so I can see what's past the wall of SUVs, vans, and big ass pickups surrounding me. If I have sedans around me, I can look through their windows to see what's ahead. I have the same problem in parking lots. I can't see a thing until I have pulled all the way into the aisle because I can't see through the big vehicles.

The problem is not that my SUV is too big, but rather, your sedan is too small.

Buying a small low to the ground vehicle was your choice but you want me not to have a choice? I don't drive much and don't fill up my Tahoe (15/19mpg) up more often than every 3 weeks or so, but when I do drive, a Tahoe is my choice.

they take up more space. endanger those in smaller cars. have larger blind spots, tear up the road more quickly and block the view of other drivers. bumpers are intentionallyl designed to run you over and crush you if you are in a passenger car vs. suv accident.

Might as well install an elevated custom bumper on your car, with spikes and nails on it so you can puncture their tires and penetrate their passenger compartment, just as they do cars like yours in an accident.
