i think all of these low-end economy compact cars were intended for 'the wife' use. short women with light build, shorter legs. i say this by the pedal position. same thing with the corolla and yaris.
we guys buy them because they are cool.
i bought mine because i like comical looking cars. including my
Cooper-S. another comical car is the new FX from Infiniti. luv
that new face. so cute.
