you are mistaken. its combination of aerodynamics and composite bodyweight give it particularly excellent range. also as a byproduct of the teardrop aerodynamic design it actually has a somewhat absurd amount of luggage space. third it is not particularly tiny, no more so than any other compact. fourth its design tradeoff (the bodystyle) is specifically most relevant at higher speeds when drag is the predominant energy factor, its made for high speed trunk roads.
