I'm more commenting on their visual presence than their
roominess.
The proportions don't work well when people are in
the frame. Like, you look on a web site for Spitfire
pics and they look nice, but somebody drives by in
one and it looks like a kid's ride outside a grocery
store.
Throw in 25 cents and the spitfire tosses
and turns. Wheee! One more ride Mommy!
Other cars have pulled off the small car thing
better by remembering that the car is small. MG
Midgets, Fiats, and so on.
