    Fun Size Comparison

    In my head I was aware that the coupe was a small car but it really never sunk in until I parked it between a Ford Explorer and an Nissan Leaf

    Well, the coupe is not only small, but it has an incredibly tiny surface area. The first time I washed mine I found out I was done in a quarter of the time it took me to do my Suburban or 1930 Model A Ford coupe!

    Somehow that surface area doesn't seem so small when sanding

    I was thinking the same thing about sanding, but it DOES wash up quicker.

    Here was my aha moment about the size of these things. That's a Honda Accord parked next to it.

    Pictures like this still freak me out. I remember someone took one next to a PT Cruser and it made the coupe look like one of those go carts they use in parades. Thankfully it wasn't as small as I invisioned when I saw it in person. Overall I think it is about the same length as my 79 Mustang - maybe a bit narrower and a LOT.. lower

    Just right!

    It is right-sized - this way you can park her in a garage.

    Please ignore the silver car, it is usually parked down the street....

    Wow, who would have thought a Prius could look like a full size car next to another? So now, we know, its not the size of the prius why you guys get picked on. LOL.
