Why is everything the size of a fucking tank? What happened to small cars that can fit into my 1890s drive designed for carriages and horses? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    The BYD Atto 1 (Dolphin) is what you're after.

    Ohhh this looks not bad, how is it when it comes to privacy? I was looking at something around the size of Kia Picanto. That fits very nicely (tested with real car), but electric is better.

    It is probably a privacy nightmare, like any modern car. Biggest difference is probably in which law sphere you reside and if it has any meaningful data protection legislation.

    The Chinese are now putting voice control mics on the outside of some cars, but I'm assuming that's reserved for high end models for now. The idea being you can just say "open frunk" instead of having to press a button, etc.

    They also have no reason to be better on privacy than everyone else.

    You're not going to get privacy in any car made in the last 10 years or so.

    There's tons of small affordable cars available to anyone who wants one. Nobody is forcing you to buy a large one if you have no use for it.

    I am just moaning about the ginormous cars I keep seeing on the roads of my little UK town (really it's more like a village) and seeing how they are having so much issues parking. Some keep popping out of their driveways! While I still have a pram, it's a right pain (not to mention disabled people!)

    I know the pain. My '07 skoda estate (which is old world speak for "extra long for the boot space") fits in my 1960s garage in a very small window to both allow the roller door to close and for the washing machine door to open. This same car gets blinded by headlights at head level, and is matched in length by the modern Renault 5.
