Me too. I spent a week driving from coast to coast in a Fiesta. It would work for me as a solo vehicle, but I use the back seat daily. I'm 6'2" and I had the seat so far back there was only a 3-finger gap between it and the rear seat cushion.

Another time I drove coast to coast in a Prius (gen 2). That would have been fine with a telescoping steering wheel, which the new one has.

The way I see it, Fiesta / Mazda2 / Prius c are all roughly comparable in size. And Fit / Mazda3 / Prius are the next size up.
