I am a huge SUV lover & i love big & brawny vehicles, not puny plasticky hatches. But in my few years of ownership experience with SUVs, i have noted quite a few disadvantages of owning a SUV over a hatch or sedan. I have listed down a few & you people are free to add some more!
1) People think you are egoistic & a rude person or you maybe that "bad boy" types with political influences, since you own a SUV, especially if you have a white SUV.
2) SUV drivers are often termed as bad or rash drivers, even if they are the slowest on road.
3) Even accessories like seat covers cost more since there are bigger & more number of seats. For example, my scorpio's leather seat covers cost me 11k whereas the same covers in a sedan cost 7k!
4) Even a basic car wash & shampooing costs a fortune as SUVs are categorized as 'big cars'.
5) if you are travelling alone in a SUV, people feel you are wasting fuel, even if their petrol sedan consumes more fuel than your diesel SUV. i was asked this by a neighbour that why do i drive such a big SUV alone. this mentioned guy drives a 3.0 Accord V6!
6) SUVs are not as mod friendly as hatches!!!
7) High speed handling is a joke in SUVs.
5) Finding a parking spot is a pain.
