Yeah, I'm a fan of smaller cars, too. I've had some larger mid-size cars, but driving smaller cars just feels better, even though sometimes it looks like I'm getting out of a clown car, considering my size.
My first car was a 1984 Ford Tempo. After that, they were all mid-size and larger, until my 1993 Saturn SL2 (I may have said 1992 earlier, but it's a 1993. I mix them up all of the time). I liked them all, but I remember having the fondest memories from the Tempo. So many shenanigans took place with that car. So having this Saturn kind of brings back those memories. My next car may also be a smaller car, I haven't decided. I will say this, even though larger cars are safer, I'm a pretty defensive driver as it is; I like smaller cars because of their higher fuel efficiency, and they're just easier for me to drive. So that goes in their favor.
Where we live, though, most people drive trucks. My parents ask me whether I'd like to have a truck. Usually the conversation goes, "you're a big guy, you need something you can feel comfortable driving," to which I respond, "I'm comfortable driving smaller cars, and cars in general. I don't like trucks," which is true, I'm not a fan of trucks.
And it'd make a hell of a winter car.
