Add to that that car insurance is higher today than in the 90's.

You are comparing apples to bananas. The Geo Metro was subcompact car with an internal volume of 97 cu ft. The Trax is classified as a station wagon but using sedan classes it would be a large car with the internal volume of 123 cu ft.
The Corolla Hybrid is great if you want a compact sedan but it is almost 20% smaller than a Trax.
