It was my only car for a little over 6 months. Never needed a larger one.

The FRS is my only car and its really practical. Having the backseats that fold down all the way does help, also having absolutely no responsibilities family wise is great.  |
Try a Yaris. All you need is a cheap megan suspension and the car is really fun to drive and can get 40+ mpg.

Only since getting married in the middle of last year did I get a 2nd car for the wife to use (Mini Cooper), but we will most definitely need a larger vehicle once we decide to have kids.
If you are young and with no kids, there should be no issue with having an FR-S/BRZ/86 as your only car until circumstances change |
You don't need a bigger car with kids. You can fit 2 car seats in the back. There are pictures on the forum, it can be done.

As of when I worked at a Toyota dealership, 2007 or so, you could order a stripper Tacoma with a 4 cylinder and a stick. You had to special order it but it was a tiny old school pickup. Not sure if you can still do it.
