8. If you didn't have to worry about being creamed by a massive SUV |

There wouldn't be nearly as much of this purported risk associated with driving smaller cars. Of course smaller cars can be more dangerous to drive in when there are Hummers and monster trucks on the road. I suspect the increasing price of gas will soon remove that problem, however.
BTW, SUV's are no safer than small cars, despite the usual hype. Their roll-over rates far exceed that of any car model, resulting in numerous fatalities in accidents involving SUVs. The larger size puts more metal between you and the other car, but it also makes you top-heavy, negating any benefits.
