When I 16 years old and still in high school there was this guy in my class who became 18 years old and was allowed to drive a car to school (in the Netherlands the age getting your license is 18). The car he drove was a tiny black Suzuki Cervo SC100 with some wicked rims under it. It looked a bit like the SC100 I found a few days ago:

Maybe it is even the same car and still owned by that same guy! ;)

Back then I thought it was one of the best cars you could possibly own: a small (economical) car with enough power to make it a bit sporty due to its size… Of course I wanted such a car as well. Back then I never concluded that my size (6 foot 5) would be a problem… I fitted on the passenger seat and my hair was scraping against the headlining, what’s wrong with that?? ;)
When I finally wanted to buy my first car I was looking for such small cars. I did drive the Suzuki Alto CA71 owned by my brother and found out that it was already hard to drive a car longer than 30 minutes when you are cramped between the seat, the headlining and the steering wheel… So in the end I started looking for a B class car instead.
To give you an impression on how small these Cervo SC100s are:

Yes that’s right: it is parked between a Toyota Starlet and a Peugeot 206 and it is about three quarters of the size of that Starlet! :D
