The current Rio is a badged-engineered Hyundai Accent. The Yaris is rated at 106, KIA at 110. But yes power to weight ratio counts. I would consider a Hyundai Accent but I just can't get over the looks.
Not only the engine and weight but also how the car is geared effects mileage.

Don't consider a Hyundai Accent. I have an '07 Accent hatch and it's crap!

Bad gas mileage, interior scuffs really easy, a lot less power then the Yaris, and just all-around a cheap feeling car.

I had a Rio before my Yaris and IMO the Yaris drives 10x better. But that just might be because I had no power anything or ac in that car haha. As far as hp goes the Rio seemed to have a little bit more pep but no where close as far as a smoother ride stock.
