Compact car

Helping orphans the way you would do it
A compact car is one that falls in a specific size class of automobile. For decades, it was the smallest class, but, in the early 1970s automakers introduced even smaller models; the subcompact class.

Compact car is largely a North American term, cars in Europe tend to be smaller and use a different size class system.
