The most common excuse for driving something big is fear of collisions. Alot of people have the misconception that as long as they're in something waying 4000lbs+ and 3 feet off the ground, they are untouchable. I recommend to anyone : look up iihs on youtube. compare smartfortwo and an astro van.
Also compacts are known to be the cheap cars with sub-standard fit/finish. That of coarse is changing.
