I have an aversion to being the smallest car on the road. I would only buy a small car if everyone else did. Which may happen if gas keeps rising. Yyou know how Americans love big. I am going to be renting a car in Wales and France and chose a small car because that is what most drive there. Also the gas is expensive, I'm told.
I think the car is cute and it has a lot of safety features, but I would check the safety ratings. I did that before I bought my Honda Odyssey.
