I drive a 63 year old econocar, a 1960 Rambler American. With some modern updates it gets 20 - 22 mpg, and is as clean as a mid-1980's car (custom feedback carburetor, sealed PCV, sealed gas tank and charcoal canister). It's the same length as a Toyota Yaris. All of the seats fold down > FLAT <. Best car I've ever owned. It's my long distance car too, just came back from 2000+ miles from LA to Santa Fe NM and back.
It's extremely slow, lol. A 1960's VW Beetle would win any drag race. Cruises 65 mph all day long. It's quiet and smooth. Automatic transmission.
The interior is ummm not quite stock. Bench seats! Dogs love them.
That's a sweet ride.
