Reasons for a crossover as far as I can tell in relative order;

1. Easier ingress/egress for the elderly and injured
2. Can see traffic easier from the higher vantage point
3. Ground clearance
4. Aesthetic preference

I really like the Prius due to the large and functional interior space. When it comes to small cars I'd rather just ride a motorcycle, but bad weather makes that impractical at times.
