I went from a huge SUV (when kids were little and I was carpooling), to a smaller SUV (as kids started getting drivers licenses), to a little sports sedan last year (WOOHOO!).
I LOVE being able to zip into small parking spaces, speed through parking garages without having to worry about head clearance and hitting poles, ALSO - I only have to fill my tank once a month because my gas mileage has doubled (and I'm only driving myself around now).
I sometimes feel a little "small" next to a Suburban, but I also feel way cooler in my sports car

It's taken years off me!!
