Guys driving small cars

  Do you think it's weird? The only car that I think that guys are more "normal" driving that are small would be MX-5 or Swift.

  Am thinking about Nissan March or Mitsubishi 'I'

  Monthly installements about $400 to $500, what else do I have to consider? fuel-wise not too much heavy driving on weekdays. weekends should cap from east to central.

  Not considering road tax, what should I be expecting to pay? including fuel, insurance and misc costs?

  Nothing strange, I know someone who is taller than me driving a picanto. I also would like to own a VW Golf GTI if I can afford it one day.

  Btw, I'm 6ft tall also.

  Honda Jazz is a good option I think. Generally good value for money, reliable, and very functional as well.

  I agree.... hehe... not because I am a supporter but the car really impress me in terms of its functionality and efficiency. I just need to save up enough to pay for it...

  I agree it's a trendy-looking car but certainly not value-for-money...

  One could well be tempted to postulate an inverse relationship between the size of one's car and the size of one's, er, driver.

  On a more serious note, the joy of a short wheelbase is seriously underrated.

  In a city certainly, as long as it means small turning circle. On highways... no.
