Well, the first sentence is about a car, and the second is about a job. Ummm.... in the first you can use "yet", in the second you can use either "and yet" or "and still" with just a shade of difference in meaning.

Ummm.... in the first you can use "yet", in the second you can use either "and yet" or "and still" with just a shade of difference in meaning. You could use "still" colloquially in the first, thus: "It's a small car, still (meaning however), it's surprisingly spacious." "It's a small car, yet it's surprisingly spacious."

JesusenglandWhat is the difference in meaning?None. And yet, yet sounds better than still to my ear, maybe because it seems slightly more 'contrastive' than still.
