I appreciate that much of it is safety, which is clearly a good thing.
Although I'm becoming a bit of a grumpy old man about all the MASSIVE German barges that seem to dominate now. Especially the fucking coupes. Seriously who needs a 5m long coupe?

My 911 is wider than my C class estate, around the same length, but half as high. Somewhat less storage, also.

I don’t own a car. I rent from Hertz when we go on holiday, and always book a small one. Inevitably they then give me a free upgrade to something massive, which I try to refuse, which is when I find out that the upgrade is all they have on offer. I went to the Italian lakes and they gave me a Fiat 500 that must have been 5 times the volume of the original. It didn’t have a fucking hand brake. The house we were renting was up a steep and winding road on the side of the valley. There was a thunderstorm. I cursed Hertz and modern cars all the way up there.

Modern cars are huge in comparison. The original MINI (the BMW one) had pretty much the same wheelbase as a Mk1 Range Rover.
