I still don't fully understand why manufacturers continue to make cars bigger and bigger. I thought the e39 M5, for instance, was very nicely sized. Why did it have to get so much bigger?
One problem of getting a small car is you get a small or pathetic engine. You will never see an exciting engine in a 1 series bimmer.
