for grocery shopping home owning nay-sayers, my yaris is much much bigger than my bicycle, and considerably larger than my motorcycle, yet i can use either for main transportation. unless your feeding a family of 10 or more, is it really neccesary? i mean, it's nice... but what i NEED and want...

besides, im sure any of these things can pull a small trailer...

I get by with the saddlebags on the motorcycle, which I use about 80% of the time during spring, summer and fall, and about 40% of the time through the winter months.

Basically, I just ride or not depending on precipitation and cargo requirements. There are a lot times the Yaris is overkill (like rain or snow), but so is driving out of your way to borrow someone's truck when you need one.

That's how I look at it, but I typically ride rather than drive most of the time anyway. Everyone's different, a pickup and a Smart/iQ would probably be considered a more practical combination to most people, although quite a bit more expensive.
