The passengers looked to be about 4-6" from the back wall, honestly 4-6" from everything but the wind shield. This thing looked pretty small. Rommie would look like a pig compared to it. I understand that this is a safe car, but it really looked like a little toy I could almost park on top of.

We actually have quite a few of them running around here, I haven't even noticed anyone being an ass towards them either.
I guess they look like a toy but they are like 1800 or 1900lbs crammed into half the volume of a normal car... A better concept is to think of them like a little wrecking ball...
They steal crumple space from almost anything they hit except for the largest SUV's.
