Malta, Nadur. It depends for what. for me I am young and can manage to figure out how to drive and park even large vehicles. Despite this malta isn't made for even vehicles which aren't tiny. in the past everyone used to drive kei car or smaller than that even sized cars which were actually spacious and practical eg. fitting 5 in the 3.3 metre 1980s maruti/suzuki alto with a full trunk wasn't bad. nowadays the tiniest cars are far bigger, parking spaces and infrastructure are the same and the smallest cars eg toyota aygo x or fiat 500 are bigger and i can't fit in the back and i am not that tall (i fit comfortably in the alto or similar cars). My grandparents found it hard to adjust to the new kia picanto as they found it too big to what they were used to. more 5 seat city cars are needed.

Compact and not SUV shaped. Crossover shape is acceptable. Under 4.5 m long, or up to 4.7 m for a station wagon. Width 1.8m max. Weight under 1400 kg, 1500 kg max, EV a bit more due to current battery tech not yet ideal.
E.g. Tesla Model 3 is a bit too large but still reasonable and it looks balanced; Megane E Tech, VW ID.3 and future ID.Polo are OK; Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 should take a 5-10% diet.

Mosta Malta. Tiny parking spaces and narrow roads which makes it one of the worst countries for owning larger cars. I wish there were still small and practical cars with 5 seats. only the Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10 remain

Interior space functional and aero efficient if electric.
Not a fat pig (regardless of length) so that it fits in normal garages and parking spots.

A hatchback for versatility (passengers or loads). Small for ease of parking and fuel economy. Good visibility. I would buy one with all-round cameras but most small cars are built for small budgets.
Skoda Fabia, about 2012, updated as a hybrid, would be the ideal.

16" steel wheels for comfort and lasting on poor quality roads.
No privacy glass (makes back very gloomy).
Main controls don't need touch screen.
Easy to park.
Good load space.

I need a car that is suitable for narrow country lanes with poor visibility as well as occasional motorway use. High, narrow and fairly short. I want a car that pollutes less and is economical to run. I can't have an all electric car as there is nowhere to charge it,my terraced cottage in a village has no driveway/garage/front or back yard. I used to have a Fiat Panda 4x4 diesel and in recent years drive a Suzuki Ignis hybrid. I'm looking for another hybrid car but small ones are now mostly electric which is useless for me.

Garage is 2040mm wide, so width critical. Preference is to drive out with mirrors extended, so width with mirrors extended is most relevant.

Not too long for parking in the city, not too high to avoid heavy consumption, but still with a big boot to carry stuff.
