The compact cars probably being the Fiesta and the Focus. The Fiesta is almost a perfect vehicle. Small but comfy for four decent sized occupants. Great gas mileage. Super reliable motor (I have one with 219,000 miles that’s never even needed a tune-up yet–5 speed manual). They put ultra shitty automatic transmissions in them that failed after 35,000 miles so all the good was nullified by that boneheaded decision. Of course you always run the risk of being turned into a grease pancake by bro-dozers all day every day when driving a car in the US.
I like small cars. I have a 2019 Kona and I love the size but I looked at the newer ones because I’m tempted by hybrid or EV. They the newer ones bigger so I decided to just hold onto my current car for a couple more years and then I’ll look at a Telo.
