Friends of ours have a Chevy Suburban, it is nice and big, but terrible 
riding in and the back seats are almost un-usable due to almost zero leg 
room, and the front seats are not a whole lot better even with more leg 
room.  The ride is terrible.  Our Jeep Commander is far better in all cases, 
and cost less.

I once had a neighbor who drove a Toyota 4Runner, mainly to go to the
grocery store (1 mile) and take her two boys to the base of the tram that
led to the ski area (2 miles).  She traded it in for a Chevy Suburban be
cause it felt "so much safer."  In the same vein, her husband gave up
cardiology so he could make some real money as an investment broker.

FWIW, I was just looking at a Fiat 500. ;-)
