I'm in the US and have a 1970 Fiat 500. That little car can handle quite a few of my needs. I sometimes use it for work, when I only have estimates. Normally I drive a full size Ford E150 van.
I appreciate the Fiat because it's so different from everything on the roads here, just fun to drive, (I'm 54, so at an age where things like lumbar support and other creature comforts are nice) and it's just uncomfortable enough to make me really appreciate our more modern and larger vehicles (the For van, a Mercury Cougar convertible, a Dodge 2500 4x4, and a Volvo XC70).
The only real bad side is that between it's age and the fact that they were never freaky imported into the US, parts aren't readily available. The last time I used it for work, it broke down.

Saw one in Prague. What the fuck would you need a pickup for in Prague. I actually own a pickup truck and this shit makes my blood boil
How do you park that, feeling like you're done, and just walk away?
There are narcissists everywhere.
Modern day trolley problem. Do you ram the Dodge Ram?
Dodge the ram or ram the Dodge.
I hate our cars too. Not just because I'm too scared to drive one though.
That team's going to have to pick up some speed if it wants to get through.
I wonder how similar in size that pos is to the tram it's blocking?
Why doesn't the tram just go around... /s
