Thanks for the slippery slope, but they're saying that it barely makes it easier. So the question is how much money you want to spend on that barely.

No the question is why are you hectoring other people with different use cases for how they choose to drive their cars?

The comment of yours that I replied to was in response to someone whose first sentence is an acknowledgement that the use case of 6 kids does need such a car.

Then they suggest that the other use cases are valid but people like them don't need such a car despite those use cases.

How did you interpret that as "hectoring other people with different use cases"??

Or alternatively, how much nicer of a car would you like to have for the same money? Most large SUVs are not well-constructed, nor are they much fun to drive. They’re just big.

My smallish wagon does everything a typical family (2 adults, 2 kids, dog) has a regular need for (heck, I carry trees and 2x12s and gravel in it, which is more than most people need). On the rare occasion that I’m buying furniture and they don’t deliver or whatever, I rent a van. As a result, my day-to-day driving experience is infinitely more pleasant.
