Having a Range Rover to take the kids to an urban school is not. I was brought up on a farm, and we had a Land Rover, which I learned to drive in. Back then nobody who didn't need one bought such a vehicle. I hated the Land Rover as an on-road vehicle, and still do. I have no need for such a SUV, and still find them disconcertingly unstable on the occasions I have to drive one. I most of them are fashion accessories rather than needed! My brother uses one, but he is on the farm most days so, like in your case, it makes sense.
