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.

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