As a person who ended up with a minivan last year (using the passive voice on purpose - we were given it for free when my sister-in-law's father-in-law died, and both of them had brand newish Hondas), it's not the worst thing. Yeah, it's big. However, I can fit 4 kids in there and 2 adults and just get on with my day. (2002 Chrysler T&C)
Now, I wouldn't have picked this for my car, but I'll drive it til it's time to get something else. I used to care more about cars, but now that we're down to one income, they have slipped down on the list of things I care about. I like being able to remove seats willy nilly and carry things around as needed.
I know this won't change your mind as someone who Will Not Get a Minivan. However, they are generally cheaper than SUVs and more flexible.
