Quite true Frank Lee.
I myself used this logic when I shopped for my Matrix I picked up this past spring. We previously had a 1996 Toyota Tercel that my wife drove. Anticipating greater spacial needs (kids) and karting around our 2 door car loving friends, we went with the Matrix. The traceoff has been about 3-4 mpg less, tons more space, and a great car to kart people around in. I have the Paseo around as my daily drive since I have a 35 mile one way commute to deal with. Its 40+ mpg is tolerable. I'd love an Insight, however, its just not in the budget. These two cars get pretty good mileage (amazing mileage to most), and suit every need we've ever had. I can't imagine buying something bigger and more wasteful.
