Only Happy When it Rains
|
Holy Crap, a big magazine actually admits the Yaris is kind of fun to drive.
http://blog.caranddriver.com/the-10-...rica-for-2014/
I never thought it would happen, but C&D finally told the truth. "We don’t know what the definition of the word “Yaris” is, but it definitely doesn’t mean “pocket rocket.” While this tiny Toyota offers a tidy, practical hatchback body, its 106-hp 1.5-liter engine offers little in the way of performance. Low weight, however, does enable surprisingly good handling, and the Yaris is one of the few cars in this list that actually enjoys tucking into a corner rather than tucking in its tail and heading for home. We’re hopeful the next Yaris will be even better, since it will share key components (and be built alongside) with the next-generation Mazda 2."

That's cool. I was just reading the British magazine AutoCar on a plane and they rated the MKIII Yaris as the most reliable car.

The RS Yaris should come with a 2ZZ from factory, Honda shouldn't have all the low end fun

Least expensive = Nissan Versa
But who would want one of those things anyway? Gotta say I kind of like the look of that Kia Rio...
