I drive everywhere in my car, as I live in the burbs. I drive to and from work and drive the kids around all weekend. I want nothing more than a really nice, roomy SUV. I wonder whether I should splurge. I don’t have that much money. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I can’t even save money. Can’t afford a used contemporary one (it’s still around $25k). I mean I could use my entire bonus for it but I would think that it’s irresponsible. [ Reply | More

I hear what you're saying. I have a perfectly serviceable car with just about enough space, but during those drives/hanging out in parking lots waiting for kids to come out from practices, etc, I have wished for a more luxurious car to do so in. BUT, not in the budget, and not worth sacrificing for, IMO. With eyes closed and podcast playing I just imagine that I'm in a Lexus SUV or whatever :) [ Reply | More

This. My brother bought my parents a 13 year old, immaculately maintained Honda Odessey with all the upgrades. Even though it's an old car, it feels very luxurious since it's so big and clean and has the leather seats, etc. [ Reply | More

I have kids and a small hatchback (Nissan Versa Note) that I appreciate. I love large vehicles but I became used to the car's smaller size and gas savings. [ Reply | More

I don't get the appeal of SUVs. You know they are much less safe than sedans, right? I think the height makes people feel safe, but it's an illusion. [ Reply | More
