Stay out of small cars. You’ll lose most of the time.
Those small cars should be OUTLAWED. BUG, FIAT, etc ARE ROLLING DEATH TRAPS, against a regular size car. Giving up safety to save gas.
We have a Chevy Malibu, which is longer than the older Equinos. All the Bells and Whistles, even tells you to CHECK BACK SEAT if you open rear door to but someone/thing in it. All cars, vans need that feature, simple coding could save a Child or Pet.
