I drive a Toyota SUV.
I love SUV's, they have so much uses! In some countries, like the US, SUV's are not classified as cars, but as light trucks
Weird! I love SUV's a lot too! They're great for bumpy roads or for hauling a trailer.
Very handy in big countries like the US. Speaking of hauling, some SUVs have the towing power of a pickup truck with the passenger capacity of a minivan or large sedan! 
I like that they have so many uses, and they make great passenger cars! Are SUVs common in other countries?
Well SUVs overtook lower medium segment cars to become the worlds largest automtive segment in 2015, they do account for 22.9% of global "light vehicle" sales or 36.8% of the worlds "passenger car" market in 2015
