I have a mk3 (facelift) 2018 Jazz and it is not a small car by any means, great if you want interior space but I wouldn't recommend it as a city car, if that's what you are really after (4m long, 1.7m wide, 1.5m high), a lot bigger than my mk1 Yaris.

True I did wonder if I was suggesting cars that are too big. I test drove a newer Jazz for someone and it drove suprisingly well but I was well impressed with the interior space and seat folding down mech.
What's the positive of going for something smaller than Swift size, weight and fuel economy/tax? Parking spots? Pricetag? Safety? When I see the tiny little Lupo's etc I often think they'd need more mass in an accident or they'll just take the brunt of all energy an impact with a 'regular' car would generate - appreciate there's a good chance my physics may be way off.
