You can fit a 4ft high potted plant in a Jazz (yes, same car as a Fit) standing up in the back. They'll also do high speed cruising if you want to (not my first choice for a road trip, obv.) and they are fine for around the town driving. My friend('s parents) had one, it suited the purpose just fine. We also fit five people in there adequately, rear leg room was fine for around the town stuff.

I appreciate they're not your cup of tea, they're not something I lust after either, but they have a place in the market and for some they're are the perfect vehicle. Personally I'd rather your old BMW too, I had an '85 E30 323i that was wonderful.. though legroom in the back was a little lacking.
