My parents never had the need to own a large vehicle when my sister and I were kids. The biggest car they ever had was a Ford Taurus, and that had plenty of room to lug me and a couple friends to the rink with all of our hockey gear.

When you have a large family you do. I have 3 brothers. So there were four of us growing up. No way would we ever go anywhere in a family sedan. Can you imagine sitting 3 across - front and back - to go everywhere? It wouldn't work. You would'nt be able to take vacations as you wouldn't have enough room for luggage.
As soon as there were four kids, we bought a Safari van (eight seater - used to be a cargo van). There was no way you could make a family sedan work with a 6 person family. Especially when we all became teenagers.
