Also, where tooter lives and where I used to live (SF Bay Area) buying a fuel efficient car is take as a political statement and putting forward a sign of intelligence.

Most people just assume I can't afford anything more, or that I'm a terrible driver when they see my car. Then when they find out I live downtown they understand. I could maybe fit a Corolla in my parking spot but it would be tight!

Here small cars are surprisingly popular, right out into the rural areas. I was shocked at all the 90's tercels I saw a trip out of the east coast of Canada recently.
