Unless someone has a genuine need, no car should be bigger than this.

@davidho As a very tall person (6'8"), I was going to disagree, but having looked closer at the car, I think I'd fit brilliantly in that, so I agree entirely!
That genuinely looks like a car I could fit comfortably in, which is not something I can say about pretty much every other car out there.

@davidho I absolutely love these cars... I mean just look at this thing

This is true, but I'm not sure that safety would be so much of an issue if everyone drove one.
Driving one of these on roads with SUVs driving alongside would be terrifying.
@ReggieHere @_RyekDarkener_ @davidho Also, any safety concerns people are having with smaller cars means that they don't give a shit about cyclists or pedestrians, unless they plan to only allow cars on motorways.

@davidho I'd drive a Mini Cooper if it weren't for the Airstream I need to tow
@devlord There is a very small Airstream, made of fibreglass instead of steel -- Bantam? Forget the name now. Possibly not made anymore. I know I considered it for use with a Wrangler. I've heard very different numbers for MINI's towing capacity, from zero to a tonne; I'd ask a dealer, directly. And if you do it, have the dealer put the tow package in, not some sketchy after-market job.
There used to be trailers made for Bugs, so I'm sure it's possible.

kinda partial to the KR 200
@maya_b I assume 'KR' means Kryptonian.

@retrosponge @davidho I drive a two-seater Smart Car, and you’d definitely fit in that. It might look like you’re being chauffeured if the driver is 5’5” or something but you’d be fine.

Completely agree.
Most of the safety problems associated with small cars have nothing to do with small cars so much as the presence of bigger cars, just as the safety problems associated with bicycles and pedestrians are due to the presence of any cars.

@davidho No room for groceries, pets, babies, or elderly relatives. Who's gonna drive grammy to the pharmacy for her meds?

@electropict @davidho If I recall correctly, the vertical line under the door is because the car's body is essentially made from two sets of identical panels. The front and back halves are the same.
(Also I think it's not even a "car", by law, it's like... a car-shaped scooter that a 14-year-old can drive).
