    Yeah it’s completely fair to buy a wagon or a minivan with a bigger family or other needs, I have a 13k Kia Ceed SW because of family and hobbies.

    But light truck SUVs are not “family cars”, they’re thrice the size with similar or smaller cargo capacity

      What’s crazy is that a mini van is so nice but so many people will go “eww” and demand a ln SUV.

      So even if you need a big vehicle, a minivan is expensive, but not so much as the three row SUVs people will demand (and the SUV will get worse mileage).

      I will grant that if you need to tow a lot, then an SUV becomes the viable option for decent size and towing capacity, but most folks don’t do that.
