I've got an old 4Runner. It was $1400. It does great in snow. It doesn't get hung up on dirt roads like our minivan does (there are dirt roads where I live). I can fit the whole family and all of our ski gear. I can tow a trailer (van can do that but the car can't). It's body on frame construction like a truck and handles tons of abuse. Granted, it's actually more like a car than modern SUVs, which are huge...the 4Runner is narrow and can fit in my tiny driveway. Anyway, there's a lot to love about SUVs, they're practical for a whole lot of things.
