I suppose one should always be careful about what one says. For decades I denigrated SUVs as being for urban wannabees who had delusions of being off-roaders.

Twelve months ago, my wife's health situation was such that she needed to get a mobility scooter, handicapped scooter, or whatever you call them where you come from: like these https://mobilitycaring.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/GOGOLX4_600w_600h-100x100.jpg https://mobilitycaring.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/GOG... The advantage of this type is that they disassemble like this https://mobilitycaring.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Go-Go-LX-With-Cts-Suspension1.jpg https://mobilitycaring.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Go-...
Now I used to have lovely C-class car, except that it was murder to squeeze the disassembled bits of her scooter into the boot, and even then the seat had to be put on the back seat of the car, taking up about half of that space.
In effect we went from having a four-door car with a boot and 2 spare back seats to having a two-seater car.
So we bit the bullet and got (ugh!) a GLC SUV, which holds all of the scooter's bits in the cargo area and leaves us an empty back seat which we can use for passengers or luggage.
But given my druthers, I'd really prefer a small zippy car like one of these https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Mercedes-Benz_SLK_R171.jpg/280px-Mercedes-Benz_SLK_R171.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Me...
