Actually, looking at the EPA list, there may be more--the list of cars classified as "compact" is extremely long, and includes everything from the Toyota Yaris to the Mercedes S-class coupe. Surprisingly, the Sonic 5-door is actually "midsize", along with the Cruze. I wonder what the volume measurement cutoff is between the two classes?

Edit: The Dart and 200 are also "midsize," apparently.
