That's exactly why I bought an SUV. When I moved to Georgia, I decided on my Honda CRV because practically everyone here owns a truck or an SUV. I wanted to make sure that other drivers could see me. I love my CRV. It drives like a car and it's a roomy. My husband and I have done a lot of road trips in it and it fits all our suitcases plus a very jumpy, hyper dog. My husband has a Mercedes C240. Whenever I've borrowed his car, I feel so...little. I can't quite explain it but it just feels so strange to be so close to the ground. I don't know if I could go back to a regular sedan after driving an SUV.
