Not justifying these people but there are legitimate reasons some people can't buy the cheapest possible car, like family size and capacity needs.
I own a subcompact because we're a family of 3 with a small to mid sized dog. We live in a very urban area so the smaller car is definitely a boon in most cases.
We also have access to decent to very good public transport and a relatively bike friendly area.
Yeah it's completely fair to buy a wagon or a minivan with a bigger family or other needs, I have a 13k Kia Ceed SW because of family and hobbies.
But light truck SUVs are not "family cars", they're thrice the size with similar or smaller cargo capacity
Bullshit. I raised three kids in a small car. No one needs a V8 pickup or SUV for an 8lb baby.
It's just an excuse to consume.
It's almost like that's not what I said.
