Driving bigger cars which are often only bigger outside has very little utility or even negative one if you don't count pleasure people get from driving dangerously. Minivans beat SUVs in almost all use cases and are safer for others as well but here we are.
I am not saying cars don't have utility but the problem is that you can buy a more dangerous, more polluting, bigger one and not pay the costs you incur on others. It's like smokers blowing the smoke into other people faces and then disposing of the cigarette butt on the street without paying anything.
Just make drivers pay the costs they incur on others and then let people choose. Right now it's a giant subsidy for driving at every step.
