(8,646 posts)I dislike them immensely, but I feel like I no longer have a choice. Right now I have a minivan, as I have 4 kids. It's also AWD, and where I live, AWD is nearly a necessity. I know a lot of people who don't have it, but they also get stuck in the winter quite often. So, for me, AWD is a necessity, and I looked around for a vehicle that 1-has AWD 2-seats at least 6 and 3-is not a pig on gas
The only vehicles that do all those things are SUVs. My current minivan is no longer made (Chev) otherwise I'd buy another just like it. It's perfect and is loaded, so I totally love it except for the fact that it is a lemon. So I decided that when I start working (currently in school) I will buy a reliable vehicle and there is seriously nothing else available with my requirements but SUVs. If anyone has any good suggestions, I'm willing to listen, but I think that's all anybody makes anymore.
