Nah - some minivans have windows low enough that they hardly block the view any worse than sedans do. If blocking other people is your objective, you really have to go with an SUV.
I think SUVs should be driven around curves just as fast as cars, though. Rolling over into a ditch is part of the SUV experience!

Many people here in Blity buy SUV buy it for show. Just as the sports car has the speed appeal SUV have the off-road appeal. You would be surprised how many SUV driver with those spare wheels, don�t have a jack to use it if they get a flat.
Some SUV should be designed as road only vehicles; they can look like SUV but does it have to be a 4x4, the suspension suited for off road, overpower engine with low mileage and does those spare wheels holders actually have to contain a spare wheel; I would love it to contain a picnic basket and a beer fridge.
Beer aahhggg!!!

in general, a suv is cooler, more towing power. a minivan has more room, cheaper.
regarding feather, the most important ones for me are:
1. 4WD
safty, but not the extra airbags.
2. sun roof
coming from convertible background![]()
3. reasonable steoreo system

4. bigger wheel

Sequoia or Sienna? It looks as if you have narrowed your choices to only Toyota? Is this the case? If so, then the new Sienna is a great minivan; however, it is extremely expensive. For SUV, Toyota is going to soon release a Hybrid Highlander. However, if you want a bigger SUV, then you should go for Land Cruiser or 4Runner.

i think the bottom line here is:
for a family of 2 parents, 2~3 kids, maybe 2 grand parents, you need enough "square feet" in a vehicle.![]()

I completely agree with you. My sister-in-law owns a Honda Odyssey 7 Passenger minivan. It sure comes in handy when transporting over 5 people or when picking up family members from the airport. Unfortunately, it consumes way too much fuel.

True. Here in the Boston area, four wheel drive or all wheel drive is almost as useful in the winter time as using snow tires on your rear wheel drive car.
Unfortunately, a lot of people with 4WD SUVs aren't smart enough to realize that it doesn't help them stop. As a result, during snowstorms, the majority of the vehicles in the ditch around here are SUVs. For some reason, AWD Subarus don't seem to suffer from the same problem.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
