Unless you pull something heavy, or leave the pavement frequently an SUV is a complete waste of money. As far as space goes, the cargo space in the SUV's I've been in is fairly pathetic.
Be honest, you wanted something that didn't feel like a truck, but still drives like a comfortable tank.
Be honest, you went with the vehicle with the macho image. Your volvo wasn't appealing to your lizard brain, and you feared your bully neighbors would beat you up if you came home with a practical minivan.
Yes, we're picking on you. However, stop making excuses for yourself. You wanted some luxury and you bought it. That doesn't make you a bad person.
Sure, you could have made a choice that was more environmentally sensitive, but who among us makes all the perfect choices? Change your messaging - you wanted to buy a (bio)diesel VW Synchro van, but they stopped making them. What is a guy supposed to do?
