Seeing as this comes from an article about an AMERICAN I think your question, like yourself, is redundant.

I do like the fact that the Prius is a full sized family car though but smaller cars dont bother me at all and I'm 6'4"

Not sure what you drive, but my spacey focus is more than adequate for my needs. What do you drive a transit van?

The Focus and the Golf most certainly are tiny cars, I have family members who have both and they come with a shoe horn to get in.

No Focuses really aren't small cars, you are talking out of your backside as per usual. If I need bigger car then I will buy a bigger car, but I repeat my spacey 5 door focus is more than adequate for me thanks! Stick to your transit van, as you will not enlighten as to what you drive...
