Thinking of buying a new Yaris...

[jayeh]

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking of buying a used Yaris.... I've narrowed down my choices to a Yaris hatchback, Echo Hatchback, Matrix or Pontiac Vibe.

I'm a fan of the 1.8L engine in the Corolla/Vibe/Matrix, but am still looking for better fuel economy. I don't drive very fast and can't think of the last time I've ever put the pedal down on the Corolla. :big grin:

I'm a pretty tame driver, and I often have to park on the street downtown and so I want a small car. I also want a hatchback since I absolutely hate having a trunk I can't fit anything in.

So, I'd definitely want to do the cruise control mod I found on this forum, I can't live without cruise, so thats one question answered. I'm curious how awkward it is to do an oil change myself. I can barely get to the oil filter on my 99 corolla.
