It's cool if you have a large family & own a minivan. If you're single with no kids/gf & own a minivan, you're a problem to the environment.

tbf all cars are bad for the environment. And minivans can carry way more stuff like a 4x4 truck but while still being enclosed if you fold the 2nd and 3rd rows making them very versatile even if you’re single

Minivan makes an excellent work van for certain industries. I see a lot of painters use them. Cheaper and more effecient than a truck or work van.

I know a guy, single, who has a regular passenger minivan. When working he folds the back seat, cover the space with a black tarp he had made, and slaps some magnetic signs on.

I'd be pretty good with a smaller minivan. Something like a Mazda 5 would be nice.
