I like smaller cars not only for gas mileage but especially for parking. Its so easy.
I hate trying to park big cars.
My mother had a 52 Packard, used of course, for about five years. This was in the mid-60's. It was HUGE and had no power steering. I never drove it because it was EXHAUSTING trying to park it.
I bought little cars, VW, because that's all I could afford. With urban parking it was/is the smarter thing to do...or spend WAY too much time looking for parking OR paying an arm and a leg at parking lots.
