Eric , you cracked me right up when you said this,

A small car is something you have to drive until you can afford to get a real car.
Eric , it sounds to me that you have never ridden a motorcycle , or maybe had a bad fall off one .
Maybe you simply feel safer with all that steel around you a big car can offer or prefer the couchy comfort a big car can offer .
I was brought up on bikes . The fun is unending , and you know what ? Some small cars are the next best thing to a bike ! ( I'm 55 by the way , in case you think I'm just some squid ) .
Thats why I like small cars , they can do some of the things a bike can .
Maybe you're a patient driver , good for you . I'm not , nothing I hate more than being stuck in a big car stuck in traffic , when my bike or a small car could disbatch the traffic with ease .
To each his own. I'm not ragging on you , just wanted you to know why some people like small cars . They are very nimble and a blast to drive , fun for zipping in and out of traffic if you're in a hurry too .
The only time I'd like a big car is if I had to spend 90 % of my time on the highway .
But even then I'd prefer to be on my bike in good weather . In big cars you pass through life . On bikes or in small cars you can feel life by what they can do .
Of course people have many reasons for buying a big car . Its just you might be missing out on something by never knowing how much fun a small car can be .
