Small cars have all but disappeared from the market, even a Civic is HUGE compared to a Civic from 20 years ago… but it’s also a lot safer (check the crash tests between similar vehicles from the 1990s and contemporary ones).

I’m in Canada and for winter driving up north you definitely want a larger vehicle with decent ground clearance.

F150 and Silverado are the two most commonly crashed vehicles.

They’re also the most common vehicles on US roads.

Today’s larger cars are actually safer… but for their occupants only. In a sea of trucks and giant SUVs it’s a little scary so everyone wants a big car. Even small cars are big now, look at a Fiat 500!

Not anymore!

I was hit by an Opel Corsa once, it hurt like hell but I killed the car.

We’re about to get BYD cars in Canada, they’re half the price of anything else on the market. If they can resist our winters and evil road salt I’m totally game for one to replace my gas-guzzler.
