Modern SUVs have poor visibility, including wide A-pillars to facilitate air bags, and are more challenging in some ways due to the bad sight lines.
That said, driving is less of a skill to be mastered these days, and more of a chore that interferes with social media participation…

Absolutely. I was mostly joking.
We have a VW Atlas Crossport (the smaller Atlas) because we only want one car, but need something to confidently tow our teardrop travel trailer. It seems huge to my wife and I, but it is nowhere the size of some of the beasts on the road.
And to points made earlier, this is the first car I've had with a camera of any sort. In my 40ish years of driving I never needed a backup camera. Our VW has them everywhere. It's like driving a space shuttle.
