Suzuki Ignis (2017-, 3700 long) is of ideal dimensions, imho, perhaps even a bit too long. Much longer cars have less interior space due to unnecessarily long boot, immovable rear seats, short wheel base, and low profile.

Size like Honda JAZZ/FIT or Dacia Sandero / R Clio , with parking assistant, less touch screen functions, more buttons, preferably programmable, headup display , not so agressive driver assitans systems. Electric when it will not so expensive to buy, insurance, repair cost.

My ideal car length should be up to 4500 mm its width should be up to 1850mm and its height around 1700mm. Boot capacity has to be 500 dm3 or more and the number of the sitting positions is 5.

Like my Mercedes a class (2012) whis is short and larger inside than out - easy to get in and out with driver in a high position. Great for the elderly like me, so not on the fun car list of the boy racers who seem to design cars and will never get old! They would rather be dead!!

I have 3 children so a large boot and leg space in 2nd row is important. But the width should be less than 1800 mm because of garage which has been difficult with the current car catalog.

The width of my parking lot in the basement sets a limit. Beyond that, I appreciate a spacious car.

I had BMW318 and then PASSAT and a company car GS300h also a BMW 2AT for my wife, Aside from commuting, I really enjoy my wife’s 2AT because it’s compact, easy to park, and offers ample space. For ski trips, adding a roof box allows our family of three to carry plenty of gear and spend an entire week at a mountain cabin. In summer, even without the roof box, the space is more than sufficient for our needs. I understand the trend is moving toward fully electric vehicles, which necessitates larger batteries and results in bigger cars. However, this increase in size feels unnecessary. Beyond the inconvenience, heavier vehicles pose a greater risk of causing severe injuries in accidents.

Has enough knee room.

City family car. Shorter for easier parking, big boot size for extra capacity, higher for better headroom and to compensate on shorter size.

My favourite vehicle is a 5 seater suv that can fit in small car parking, and navigate on narrow roads easily, for stress-free driving and parking 68 inches tall 180 inches long and 72.5 inches wide. Even better than that would be a 7 seater (3rd row seats for kids/teens/women under 5'7) or even 6 seats with a space in the middle of the 2nd row, 68 inches tall, 188 inches long, and 73 inches wide.

I think crossover, but not any coupe shape, not small city car on big wheels, and no super large absurdal suv. Just mid car, with great space for 4 adults, with better clearance, and 4x4. Also a boot is important. I want to fold down back seats, and just put there a large road bike or christmas tree.Petrol, maybe hybrid engine, it don't have to be 500 HP , but at least 2000ccm. Not a blender with 6 turbos

The smallest end of the estate market have done me well for many years and I would like another. Though even the smallest can be a bit long. It is very useful to be able to load a bike or a bit of furniture in the back, or take 4 people in comfort while having a car that fits comfortably in a parking space.

Small outside, big inside, good distance from the ground, happy colours.
