Yep, the fiesta line got nixxed 2 years ago by Ford, the civic is the size of old accords, does Kia and Hyundai even make sedans anymore? The Corolla is getting bigger too

Rip coups also

I'm going to be getting a Prius prime in a year or two, because my area doesn't have a lot of EV infrastructure, and also because it's one of the few cars that's still pretty low to the ground and small-ish

Honda dropped the Fit too. I’m still driving my 2013 Fit and I’m trying to find a similar size hatchback and it’s becoming impossible. Civic hatchback may be what I have to move towards and like you said they’ve grown to the size of the older Accord model.

What they categorize as compact these days is hardly compact.
