Thatâ’s right, I used to be cool, but now I drive a minivan and for some reason that automatically kicks me out of the club, right?
 Okay, letâ’s be honest. Iâ’ve never been that cool and thatâ’s just fine with me. However, I truly donâ’t understand why minivans have gotten such a bad rap. Iâ’ve driven a minivan for five years. We recently got a newer model and I truly canâ’t imagine why a mom wouldnâ’t want to drive one.
Iâ’ll be honest and let you know that my husband and I briefly considered a SUV, but then we decided that sliding doors are so much easier in our garage. Not to mention the fact that I would be terribly nervous that my kids would carelessly open the back doors and scratch a car parked next to us.
Even if I thought they were old enough to be careful about this, I truly donâ’t think I could have been swayed to get a SUV. The inside of a minivan is so easy with three kids.Â
So tell me. Why would someone choose a SUV over a minivan? I know itâ’s not the price or gas mileage!
Do you drive a minivan? Are you happy about it?
