SUV?

Unibody

IFS

Usually 2WD, sometimes AWD

Yeah a European “SUV” is usually a Golf with raised suspension, whose internal room, worse handling, worse fuel economy. They are completely pointless.

Agree. Which is why it's even more stupid to own one.

People who have a big family get a minivan.

Minivan have more space in the same volume. They are really good

A proper SUV would probably be the better option here. How much lifetime waste do you think is generated through those constant AWD, unreliable, unrepairable, plastic unibody POSs versus a 2WD parts-swappable SUV?

Don’t really think AWD is an issue, personally. It has a lot of benefits with minimal drawbacks.
