Yaris weight compared to early fun Japanese cars

[Alan1962]

Follow me here for a minute, 1984 Honda Prelude was 2220 lbs @ 100 HP, fun car & light weight.
1984 Porsche 944 { I know German } is 2830 lbs @ 143 HP hmm HP to weight ratio close to Yaris, a little.
1983 Honda Accord 2 dr. 2031 lbs 72 HP 1760 CC's, this is it in a nutshell folks, the Accord is now a 3300 lb. heavy weight.
The Yaris captures the spirit of the early Honda' Civics CRX's Accords, Toyota Celica'a they all became too big & The Yaris has a refined engine & better HP to weight ratio, that's the key to the Yaris spirit, light weight I tell ya, pearls of wisdom dispensed here folks, no charge
Yaris 2 dr. weighs same as 1976 TR6, & 1969 Porsche 911 too !
