Consider this: Your sister is a bad driver. Driving the SUV will make her feel safe (despite the fact that this safety is an illusion - see above), therefore she's likely to drive carelessly. Driving a smaller car will make her feel unsafe, so she'll probably drive more cautiously.
I can't help but be reminded of my neighbors' granddaughter. Her dad (parents were divorced) bought her a small car (Dodge Neon, IIRC) when she got her license. Mom & g'parents would nag about how she wasn't safe in that little thing, so a couple of years later, they bought her a biggish SUV as a graduation present. Couple of months later, she rolled it, killing herself and her boyfriend.
