It's weird that there is this misconception that small children won't fit where adults would normally be expected to fit.

I generally love small cars and agree with this...with the caveat that a lot of car seats these days are ginormous, and the backward facing orientation can be really tough to fit. You need a certain amount of gap between it and the front seat, which means you really need to push it forward. It's not a problem if you don't have a front passenger, but if you need to put it behind the drivers seat, you end up having to drive like the tall man in the Simpsons.
It's only an issue for a couple years till you swap the seat around, but I found it big issue with our small car.
That said, we didn't run out and buy a Canyonero because of it.
