I drive a 2012 Subaru Impreza. Before that I drove a 2001 Hyundai Accent and before that a 1997 Kia Sephia. All of those are small cars, maybe it is because I am from The Netherlands but I never considered a large car, they slurp gas like it is going out of style and I want something compact that I can park almost anywhere. What I do like is that even with a small circle of friends it is almost guaranteed that you know someone with a large truck that can help you move large things, such as couches =).

A Subaru Impreza is considered a small car ?????? It's more than 4.3 meters long ! I have a Renault Twingo (3.4 meters long), and before that I had a Maruti 800 (3.2 meters long). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Twingo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Twingo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maruti_800 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maruti_800 That's what I consider a small car :) . My father had a Fiat 600 (the original one), and now has a Suzuki Maruti Alto/A-Star http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Alto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Alto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_600 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_600 The current best-selling car in Uruguay is the chinese-made Chery QQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chery_QQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chery_QQ

    I know, but what called my attention is that the poster is European. Part of my family lives in Austria, and what they consider a "small car" is more along the lines of a Volkswagen Golf, which is a little under 4 meters. According to Wikipedia itself, the Impreza wold be a "Compact" (what North Americans consider a small car) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_car while the Golf would be a "subcompact" (what I thought Europeans considered a small car) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcompact http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcompact and the Maruti would be a "city car" (what we Uruguayans consider a small car) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_car

  My grandma owned a Toyota Aigo and now drives a VW Golf. Love both of those cars, but I like the station wagon like look from the Impreza. Yes, the Impreza is a small car, I've seen people drive that in The Netherlands (although Subaru seems to be pretty rare there). Compare it to an Audi A6 wagon for example, plenty of those available. I guess small is in the eye of the beholder, my car isn't much bigger than my grandpa's Opel Astra for example, and that is considered a small car in The Netherlands.
