As an SUV owner, I agree. It tries to do too many things, so it's not good at any of them. When we had kids, I wanted a minivan. They're ugly, they don't get good gas mileage, their handling is like a pregnant yak- but if you need to haul around kids and their stuff, there's nothing better. My wife at least considered it, but we ended up with a hybrid SUV. I don't completely hate it, but I still would rather have gotten a minivan.
I have a compact SUV (CR-V.) It gets good gas mileage and has enough room for my very large dogs. Some people have reasons, just a lot of people don't.
Comments from @wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works are terrible in every single way and no one can change that!
Good stuff, the fact that Paris classifies everything above 1,6 tonnes as an SUV, so that put's even a measly Peugeot e-308 in that cateogry. But it's a compact BEV! Still weighs 1759 Kg.
