SUVs are EVERYWHERE.
It seems that every new car you see on the road now is an SUV. They might have a stupid name like a ‘crossover’ or ‘subcompact’ but they’re still SUVs - and they all seem entirely unnecessary (to me - anyway).

I don’t like it. They’re big, heavy, worse on fuel and often more cramped than the equivalent Estate car (or station wagon if you’re someone who calls Aluminium A-loo-minum)

But I must be wrong - surely? Everyone else seems to like them, so what am I missing?

I’ll admit, there’s a time and place for an SUV. Maybe you live in the middle of nowhere or on the side of a mountain and regularly need to ford rivers and climb steep hills.

It’s the millions of ‘crossover’ SUVs and people that probably should’ve just bought a normal car that I have a major issue with.

I cannot see any reason why you’d buy one over a regular hatchback or even an estate car. Crossovers are small, cramped inside, worse on fuel, heavy and have no more luggage space than most hatchbacks.

Most of them are just front-wheel drive hatchbacks on stilts anyway! Only when you lift them, you suddenly sacrifice handling, fuel economy and sometimes even legroom and bootspace.
