Am I the only one who thinks it's completely pointless? Yeah, great space engineering, but the weight savings over an Aygo aren't very significant (30kg), and the small size doesn't actually give you any practical advantage. I mean, sure, I'd like to see what they learned from their pointlessly small car make regular Toyotas better, but I can't think of a single sensible reason anyone would take one over an Aygo.

Not necessarily. I bet you, this will not be marginably easy to park than let's say a Aygo or a Fiat 500.

And also don't forget about turning circle, my Polo back home is very small and yet it has a horrendous turning circle.
