I drive a Nissan Juke when I go to the city. If you consider that a big car, I don't know what to tell you. EDIT: Since I can't respond to the comment below me, the Juke is slightly taller than a Mini Cooper and about as long and wide. I literally can't find a smaller car that I'd be comfortable driving on the highway.

That's an SUV/crossover. Yes, it is too big. Cars got way too big since a few decades, especially in North America, and that is a huge part of why people feel that roads are too small.

  Are you kidding? The Juke is smaller than a 1 series, smaller than a VW Golf and much smaller than a Prius. Even by European standards it's a tiny car.

    By definition, if the streets feel too small, then the car you're driving is too big. The Juke, while smaller in length than those cars, is wider than both the Prius (by a longshot) and the Golf. And ultimately it's width that matters for the feeling of street size. Also, by European standards the Golf or the Prius isn't a tiny car, it's more or less average (though that's changing). Small would be a Polo, a Citroen C1, a Mercedes B-Class, etc...

      >The Juke, while smaller in length than those cars, is wider than both the Prius (by a longshot) No, it's 50 mm wider. If you're going to call that a longshot, just wait till you see a Ford Explorer. The Juke is 4 mm wider than the B-class and 200 mm shorter. Tell me again how huge it is. EDIT: In fact, only one car you mentioned is appreciably narrower than a Nissan Juke, and even then it's only by 200 mm https://cararac.com/dimensions/mercedes-benz/b-class.html https://cararac.com/dimensions/mercedes-benz/b-class.html https://cararac.com/dimensions/nissan/juke.html https://cararac.com/dimensions/nissan/juke.html

    There's no arguing with cyclists. They're worse than vegans in that regard. Pushy, smug, arrogant, completely irrational, and overall extremely ableist people that expect everyone else to bend to their way of life because "well if I can do it, then having no legs is no excuse, you ecoterrorist!" Fuck me this place is worse than reddit.

  > That's an SUV/crossover This is easily the stupidest excuse for logic I've ever heard. The PT cruiser is classified as a truck. Does that mean it's the same size as a RAM 3500?
