LOL I was looking up specs last night for I was very interested in what these little guys had to offer.

Fiat specs:
101hp @6500
98 ft-lbs@400rpm
2363lbs curb weight.
I bet it's not any slower than a Yaris.

But the reason I bought my Yaris was the Build quality... Didn't know the fiat was made in Mexico, was secretly hoping they would be true Italian, at least the parts would be made there and at least assembled here.

The fiat weighs more than my yaris :O that I did not expect. I like how the Fiats look, but I don't know that I'd buy one.

i drove a "base" one with a 5spd....was similar in feel to my 07....and much nicer inside

but it was smaller and several thousand more.....and the new '12 yaris is much nicer than the gen2 yaris...

that said, if i wreck my yaris tomorrow, ill look for a used yaris or echo hatch....you just cant beat the economy for the price (and i can't afford a new car)
