Picked one up used today

silver 2007 five door hatchback, auto.

test drove it and a versa SL, it kicked the Versa's butt the CVT makes the Versa feel like a golf cart

I probably should have gotten a stick shift, but after 2 cars in a row with standard transmissions I'm sick of it

Welcome to the forum, you should like the MPGs you'll get with gas around a buck 40 a litre!

i was using my subaru legacy 2.5 GT before. it takes supreme which was up in the high 1.50s last week!

it was either the legacy or my truck.

so i sold the truck, got the yaris, and the subaru is sitting quietly in the car port waiting for gas prices to drop

I think you've made a wise decision to change over. At least you won't cringe everytime you fill up. I thought the price of crude oil went down the last couple of months??? Still haven't seen the smallest of price drops yet.

Welcome to the club. Nice to see an addition to the local crowd. Gas only 124.9 a litre today up the valley.
