Neither one of them liked being so low to the ground, or the way they handled in the snow as compared to what they were used to. My mom traded back up to a Sienna, and my dad to a Rav4.

This is my mom! She and my stepdad have both always had SUVs (snow).

One year they decided that it was best to trade down to cars because of the fuel.

We live on a back road that doesn't get plowed as quickly as the main streets do.

Each of them got stuck at least 3 times that winter.

At the next opportunity, they got SUVs again.
