Yep! Especially more so in the Fiesta Zetec then my current Sport Clio. For some reason the Fiesta was the target of 40 yr old men in GTs and Clubsports trying to perv when they saw P-Plates and then when they saw a 6'2" 111.5kg bloke looking back they're back off hard.
It was also the target of stupid idiots in Falcons/Commos or big 4WDs trying to cut off or tailgate/intimdate you all the time. The Sport Clio gets none of that. I don't understand why! Ricers try to take it on lots and lose, and people in cars actually good seem to give it the nod.

this happens to me all the time! im driving a daihatsu charade atm as a run around and i am constantly being pushed off the road, such as in situations where the road goes from 2 lanes to one, i would occasionally get a 4WD or truck push me out of the way and id have to brake hard, or people get right up my ar5e coz its only a 3 cylinder and it has no balls!
frustrates me to tears, very dangerous stuff! |

Big car/Falcoon/Commodore/Territory = Compensating for a small interlect upstairs and downstairs. :
The small cars get picked on because we dont fit into the ZOMG V8 bro ZOMG did you hear it dose.. stereotype. : I just ignore them. If they wanna play then so be it. Dont go crying home to mummie when a 4cyl throws you a tissue box. :

On a serious note, by "If they wanna play then so be it" you believe your Fiesta is quicker that a "ZOMG V8 bro ZOMG did you hear it dose" falcon?
I Think Corey D has taken posession of your PC, quick get it checked

Bunch of Muppets the lot of you.
Other than using a big car for work purposes or family necessity what is the sensation of owning it if all you do is show what little braincells you have.
