Most Hertz locations rent the Yaris. Why don't you request one in advance for your rental?

I'm more interested in finding out how the Mirage or a Spark drives, since the Yaris hasn't changed much over the years. I guess it would still be interesting to compare a 2016/17 Yaris to my 2009. I'll be happy with whatever I get, as long as they don't "upgrade" me to something that uses lots of gas.

test drove the 2017 mazda cx-3

really nice upscale interior
sports car like handling
not much more than i paid for my yaris se

toad · 01-29-2017, 09:42 PM

^ i was thinking about the cx-3 because i want awd and get as fuel efficient as possible(that's why i'm looking at imprezas right now too). i heard the interiors are really nice, but that it's more cramped than our beloved yaris!

side note: i've seen about a BILLION cx-5, but have NEVER seen a cx-3 in person! is the price difference so little that everyone goes for the bigger model?

It's certainly a good looking car, and I've read that it handles surprisingly well. I wonder about long term reliability.

I never liked leasing cars. Feels like you are renting a car, and can't do anything to it to really to make it yours. Too confining for me.

I'm with you, but it works well for folks that know they're going to get bored with a car in a few years, or folks (like my better half) that get car allowance from their work.

Even with the car allowance, my better half decided to hang on to her 2011 Accord Coupe for a while longer. I love the fact that my Yaris has been paid off for years. I can afford a new car payment, but not having one and occasionally modding my Yaris (and having that money to spare) has been fun.

Not going to lie, the new car bug was close to infecting me last year.

I might like the eventual (?) SUV or van version of the now aluminum Ford F-150 truck...if it didn't run on 150 million lines of code. Also wondering if all the built-in infotainment may be omitted in lieu off a complete plug-in-your-own alternative...as people start dealing with cars that are past support of their operating systems. And I'd like metal mechanical keys. And round lights. And...

Agreed. I think it would feel like driving someone else's car... and that doesn't really appeal to me.

I love that picture! If you drive 80+ in the Yaris, how fast did you cruise in the Corvette?

I took that road by accident once, in 2014. Missed a turn in Hawthorne.

I knew I'd get to 395 eventually, so I stuck with the unplanned detour. Yosemite was on fire at the time.

You were right. The choices for Economy were Yaris, Yaris, or Yaris. So, I got a '15 Yaris.

No cruise control.

Hertz considers the Hyundai Accent or Nissan Versa an upgrade over the Yaris.

youll have no problem

scratchpaddy · 02-01-2017, 07:04 PM

Wow! That's intense. My Metro didn't have cruise either, and drove it to Oregon four times, but I was able to kind of wedge my foot way up high on the pedal and more or less keep it at the same speed. The Yaris throttle is softer and way more sensitive.

I got back yesterday. My left foot was bored (automatic), my right foot sore.

I averaged 39.9 mpg.
