When I last bought I car, I thought "95% of the time, I will be the only person in this car, maybe I should get something small and economical." But all the small cars I tried--Neon, Corolla, Galant, a few others I can't remember--were just not that comfortable. I'm 6'-2", 215 pounds--so large-ish, but hardly huge, especially by today's standards--but I would always bang my head getting in, or my knee felt jammed against the door, or my head brushed the ceiling. I wound up buying a Taurus.
But I keep thinking--why don't they make a small car with a disproportionately large driver's seat? Put the room where it is likely to be used, instead of dividing it symetrically. Of course, a really clever design maybe would allow equalizing the space where necessary (except I'm hard pressed how the steering wheel could be re-centered).
