We don't have much variety in our vehicles that it really doesn't matter which vehicle anyone takes:
2001 Windstar minivan, 72K miles
2005 Freestar minivan, 42K miles
2005 Freestar minivan, 42k miles
And no, I didn't repeat myself, we have two 2005 vans. but I'm trying to sell one. One is more plain-jane, the other has the separate second row seats and a DVD system which will be better for our long road trips. The only time there is a his/her issue is my wife keeps her workout gear in the 2001 so I just make sure I don't use it when she's going to go to the gym. Otherwise, we grab whatever is the most convenient vehicle. The 2005s have the advantage when need space as the 3rd row folds into the floor giving lots of cargo room. It's great, would never want to downsize to an SUV. They call them "sport" utility vehicles for a reason, they are pitiful cargo haulers next to real utility vehicles, which I define as a pickup truck or a van or minivan.
Since my kids are involved in sports teams and scouts, I'm the one who does much of the kid or cargo hauling since other parent's SUVs are so whimpy when it comes to cargo/people room.
Sorry for the side rant, just find unless your towing or really need AWD, SUVs are a lousy compromise.
