I can say that the first is pretty much true; only commuters who really need to drive a lot get the super tiny vechiles.
The second, I saw a super sub-compact wrap itself around a telephone pole, after flipping less than a month ago on the icy roads. The driver not only survived, but pulled himself out of the car.
