We used to fit 3 children into a '85 Plymouth Horizon 4 dr. My son is 6' 2" and his 3 children, in car seats, just fit in their new Nissan Versa CVT.
The safety specs for NASCAR and NHRA include mild steel roll cages so a well designed space frame can provide excellent protection. The Smart car crash test video is amazing; I call them armored telephone booths.
The Gurgel frame could benefit from modern computer based modeling. Still it has good features for a light utility vehicle of it's time period.
