Re: 16 years from now...
Toyota's are surprisingly roomy.
You never specified coupe or sedan. Those three would have to be virulently corpulent to not fit in a sedan. Even Rubenesque would fit in a coupe. I test drove a '94 coupe, '96 sedan, then decided on a '95 Camry SE sedan because it was a single owner(that my Father's friend knew well), no accident car.
The two Tercel's had issues, namely coming out of hurricane territory, and having flood damage(took door panels out to confirm that, because even the most cheap and skeevy dealer won't take the car apart to clean it of all the evidence).
Where was I? Oh yeah, Tercel's a very roomy car. Now if you'd have said Yugo, I'd have bought it.

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

They are roomy until you have to sit in the backseat.At ten years old at five foot nothing, I was cramped when I was the only one in the back seat. They are great in the front not so much in the back. But otherwise an wonderful car.

Re: 16 years from now...
At least one of them would have to pile into the back seat. And it's likely the coupe version.

Well, if they are all tall, maybe I could see it.Jharris16-17 wrote:They are roomy until you have to sit in the backseat.

I'm five foot three, and found it roomy sitting in back(I test them for passenger comfort as well as my own) as long as no six foot and change tall drinks of water shoved the seat back into my knees.
Now AMC Eagle coupes...er, Talon model, are crackerboxes, only beaten by Ford's Fiesta/Festiva models(clown car), Yugo, and any Geo...well, I guess they're roomier than I thought...

After the first time they tried (unsuccessfully) to get to work, Dreyali got mad and slammed the passenger door shut.
It broke. Now, they all have to get in through the driver's side door.
Hilarity ensues.

Re: 16 years from now...
Funny you should mention Yugos. I remember a news story several years ago about an artist that took several of the vehicles and turned them into art pieces. The best of the lot was a working shower.Sgt. Howard wrote:You REALLY ought to give them a Yugo...

"What do you MEAN, it 'rolled into the river'?" Ari nearly screeched at her.
"It did! I was just trying to get in the passenger seat through the driver door, and I musta hit the parking brake, and it started rolling!" Dray was nearly crying. "I'm just as broke up as you are - I lost my Justin Bieber CD in there!"
Ari was getting tired of being the sane one around here. "So what are we gonna do now for transportation? You know that the MTA doesn't go directly to the store..."
"Gals! Gals!" Mori came clambering in the apartment door. "Good news! I found a used car in our price range! And the guy was great - I gave him a hundred for it!"
"A hundred dollars... what kind of car is it?"
"He said it's a foreign exotic car," Mori said excitedly. "A You-Go!"
