It is still Chevy LOL, problem with GM and Chrysler is that they are not sure how to design their cars, every year you see a new face.
I bet fuel economy would suck as Aveo (32 at best).

I didn't know that you could select "P" on a manual transmission, LOL.

Wait until HPtuners gets ahold of one and people can start tuning them, the cobalt ss/tc can make 300whp with a tune only! This car will be a 200whp car with a few bolt-ons and a tune. I love it!

New 2012 Subaru Impreza is rated at 26 mpg city...36mpg highway.

Don't know about you but it's pretty impressive when a car with awd and has more hp/torque than the Yaris, is getting similar mileage.

Come on Toyota...get your act together.

Yeah but I'd give up HP for quality and longevity.

Wait, I did. My last car was a new SRT. I moved from one extreme to another. So far, I've proved myself in making a good decision to move from a little "hot rod" to a gas miser.

Honestly though, I'm getting 6 MPG more than what Toyota is reporting and I'm simply diriving conservatively. I'll be willing to bet that the Impreza doesn't break it's 36 by much if at all.

Most of the close-to-40 MPG's reported by manufacturers is not proven yet.

I am just amazed that Toyota only reports 29/36 on Yaris while people get a minimum of 32 and I myself experienced 45.1MPG Highway.

Yaris might not be a sports hatch but is swift enough to let me be the first person to leave the light.

The manufacturers have nothing to do with those numbers.

They are the numbers achieved by the EPA (government) test cycles. And that cycle became much more conservative in 2008 (which dropped ratings significantly).

The pre-2008 rating for the Yaris was 34/40, which is actually more accurate than the new "real world" test results.

I don't see any similarity.

And Honda wishes they could make an interior this nice in this segment.

Only Acura interiors are better, LOL.

I think the interior looks like a gaudy bloody mess! Absolutely nothing I like about it. Even the steering wheel is ugly!

Really?

I would easily rate this the best looking and best quality interior in the sub-compact segment. Outside of maybe the digital speedo. Give me an analog display.

I'll bet you that plastic interior is harder than Ron Jeremy with 3 girls...
