SUV all the way. Who wants to be scrapping his fender when negotiating on a culvert? Sedans are for roads you are familiar with, you know where the bumps and potholes are.
FX 35 is one of the very few cars, if not the only car, that gives u ground clearance for bad roads and balance for highway speed. But the trunk is small compared to other SUVs. So you can't get that one complete package.
walahi fx35/45 is one of the sub designs I still admire today.. that suv aold millions of units if not billions...but their models after that sucks

SUVs rock.
In a sedan you can see the the car in front of you. In an SUV you can see 3 cars ahead.
Nothing beats the natural seating position of an SUV. In an SUV you sit 'There'. In a sedan, you sit 'Down'. You can actually look 'down' on sedan drivers. grin
You can't move your deep freezer with a sedan, with an SUV, simply fold down your rear seats.

Funny, but true.

I beg to differ.
SUV comes in different size, weight and balance.
What you will do with a Mercedes GL can't be done with a Hyundai ix35. You get my point.

SUV na SUV even the sporty ones with low center of gravity.

Mercedes SUVs may have an exception. However all SUVs are prone to roll over when compared with sedans.

Take a look at some moose test fails.

I could make turns on the highway @100km/h or 120km/h. While the crossover/ SUV will reduce speed down to 80km/h in order not to risk a rollover.

Why will anybody want to make a turn on an highway @100-120km/hr? Eez lyk u av 2 lives abi

Except you don't drive on the highway/Freeway where you don't necessarily need to hit the brakes to slow down to 80km to make that turn. Remove your foot from the pedal to reduce while approaching the turn and put ur foot back to it when ur half way out of the turn. A lot of people here understands that. With a sedan close to the ground it has greater sense of control.

I fell in love when I got a CUV. All my scrapping wahala came to halt, with the advent of a CUV. I ain't scared of potholes like I use to.

Best thing for Nigerian roads

I prefer MPV Multi-purpose vehicles, for now... because of the space and leg room they provide me (I'm 6 ft 5in)... Would luv to get the crossover as well in the nearest future.

Thank you! Nothing more to add....except for the fact, that SUV is much better when going over rough roads.

Is crosstour really a crossover? Just a normal hatchback I think. Honda CR-V is a crossover.
