The Colt has got better tires and more horsepower (163ps).

The Fit Turbo and the Monster Swift are both aftermarket modified with bolt on forced induction kits.

The Vitz TRD Turbo M has 150ps and is completely stock.

I call for a rematch, Garm...show em how we do it when it comes to a Yaris...


I mean really, look at the way all those cars are setup. They were either modified beyond the stock Yaris turbo m..or at least had a better tire to boot, if Toyota Japan puts anything like the tires that we get here in the states, they were crap.
