There's almost no disadvantage to a larger vehicle and great advantage if you frequently (or even infrequently) make use of of the space. Therefore, large vehicles are better, especially if you don't care too much how they drive.

I never understood much why sedans (especially tiny ones) were so popular here given the inherently crappy design of the trunk vs a hatchback. Luckily, North Americans have learnt the error of their ways but have decided to mostly not bother with small hatchbacks and just go for SUVs, given their increased practicality.
