Being of median size, I have no problem fitting into virtually any automobile.

For reasons unknown however, the vast majority of bikes are too tall (or just too large overall) for me.

Pretty important for two reasons- I'm over six feet tall and only angry midgets design medium to compact cars. (Although roominess has improved over the last ten years.) And I like to check and see how much groceries I can carry in the back. . .

My big question is "how many jobs worth of satellite equipment can I fit in this bitch?"

This is the very first feature of a car that I consider. If I can't fit in it, it doesn't matter how good the gas mileage is, what it costs, or how well it performed on safety tests.

Realy not much of a consideration for me. I prefer small or medium-size cars, and have no weight or girth problems to contend with. Trunk space is a consideration, however - I can't live with a really small trunk.
