We go to Cape Cod some weekends and the whole back of my Grand Cherokee is full (up to my sight line) plus a bike rack on the back. If you have tiny kids, tack a bulky stroller onto that tab. Again... it CAN work in a smaller car, but why? I don't NEED central air in my house but I'm damn glad I have it. At some point, comfort becomes the priority.

LOL - Re-read your comment and you will see you are exactly what everyone is laughing about.
I go to the beach all the time, including Hawaii, where I rented a Camaro convertible. My wife, myself, and our daughter managed just fine to put all of our things in there. Same for going to the beach in FL. Never had the need for anything larger than the MINI.
Beach chairs, umbrella, bulky stroller? Good grief man. Perhaps we should get you a butler and personal outdoors aircon unit as well?
It's the beach, man! LOL!
Grab a blanket or two, carry the kiddos, sit on the dirt.
Is this you?
Kidding of course, do what ever you want - but it isn't a need for an SUV, it's a want. |
I can actually relate to this after my last vacation.
I have my 1LE as my daily , but was taking a trip to the snow.
I rented a 4X4 SUV and called it good.
If you only need the utility of a specialty vehicle for occasional use, then it's much better to get something you want to daily drive (for me it's sports cars) and just rent something for those occasional special needs trips.
I see an C8 Vette in my future.
