Cars also have become bigger because of safety standards and regulations. Like even small cars like a Volkswagen Polo have become larger than their 80’s/90’s counterparts while the interior space didn’t increase that much.
Mazda MX-5/Miata current generation is about the same size (i think 5cm or so longer) as the original with modern safety features, it’s possible to keep the footprint small
Still they could be smaller than they are now even with higher security requirements. Almost nobody needs a jeep, suv and van. Get some small cars that meet your requirements (besides compensating your erectile disfunction).
That doesn’t explain ever expanding legroom and cabin space though. Why is every new generation of car an inch larger in each direction? The human body isn’t on average getting taller at anywhere near the scale that cars are (though maybe we are getting a bit wider…)
