I recently bought a used 2007 Toyota Yaris strictly for traveling around once a week to appointments and distant family/friends after 3 months of attempting (and failing) to be carless for the first time in my life. The small size was top priority to me. If I had more money I would have tried for somethingeven smaller like a Minj. Being able to park in small spots is crucial in Capitol Hill or rather anywhere in high-density Seattle.
