I am one of those people who firmly believes in, "drive what you want". I'm not going to start an argument of "there's no need for the average person to drive so and so". Going down that path leads to misery in general.
That said, it is a little unfair to say that minivans are all about utility, and to the detriment of everything else.
- They drive better than most SUVs, handle better than most of them too.
- They are more comfortable inside than almost any other car.
- They get pretty good mpg, more like a large FWD car.
- And to be honest, one element of utility -- towing, they are not as good as even a small sized BOF SUV like the Explorer.
And of course, a choice could be right or wrong. If I got a Corvette, I'd have made the wrong choice for my family. But perhaps the right choice for myself
