Rofl, what do you expect? It edmunds, the "we hate cars people."

Not to mention they put every single option on the vehicle. $17k!!! That is obscene.

Car comparison of small cars in the Australian market by Drive.com done on 04 August 2006:

What's big in small cars

Cars tested:

Ford Fiesta
Honda Jazz
Hyundai Getz
Kia Rio
Mazda 2
Mitsubishi Colt
Proton Savvy
Suzuki Swift
Toyota Yaris
Volkswagen Polo

Excerpt:

Quote:
Verdict

Comparison tests are by their nature ruthless affairs. The weak are quickly exposed and dispatched, so you might like to send the kiddies out while we do the initial axe work.

Despite significant improvements, it's difficult to find a compelling reason to consider the Proton.

If you just want reliable, honest A-to-B transport at the lowest possible price, with minimal regular costs, the Getz and the Rio will do the job. However, for not much more money you can get a more contemporary, enjoyable and better built car.

Now the culling process becomes more difficult, because the cars themselves are quite different and have individual attributes that will appeal to different buyers.

The Polo is safe and solid, but relatively expensive, underpowered and under-equipped in this company. If you can justify the premium price and aren't looking for a rocket ship, you'd be happy in one of these.

The Fiesta, like the Polo, requires premium unleaded but you get no tangible performance benefit compared with others that run on regular. It's also likely to have higher maintenance costs. Otherwise, the Fiesta is a good thing and much better value than when it was launched.

The made-in-Japan Colt has the longest warranty and a frugal thirst. It has a relatively roomy cabin but a small boot. The Mazda 2 has also been freshened up and it too exemplifies Japanese quality and attention to detail in a spacious, comfortable package. But it's noisy by class standards and that can become irritating after a while.

Third place goes to the Suzuki Swift. It's well equipped for the money and drives sweetly; on the debit side, occupant space is tight. It slips from its former No. 1 spot because of a stronger performance from the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris than for any significant weaknesses on its part.

The big price reduction on the Jazz lifts its value-for-money quotient to give it second place. Its space efficiency, comfort and brilliant interior design give you big-car versatility with small-car economy from the high-tech 1.3-litre engine and CVT drivetrain.

Since our comparison last October, in which the Yaris came second, it has achieved five stars out of five (with side airbags) in Euro NCAP tests. In a small car, you need all the crash protection you can get, so this is decisive.

The four members of the Drive team who went around (and around) our test loop in every car rated the Yaris an exceptionally comfortable and refined device. Performance, dynamics and fuel efficiency are exemplary. Its interior design is practical, innovative and impossibly cute.

Factor in the Toyota trifecta of quality, reliability and durability, and the Yaris clinches the top slot.
