Hey Kmf. I know you from another thread.

I never got back to the Honda dealer to test drive a manual Fit. It would have to be quite a bit better than the Yaris to demand the higher cost and I just didn't see it happening.
The Hyundai caught my attention when a "mellow yellow" 09 passed me on the e-way the other day. That's a good looking car imo. But then I test drove it (the dealer only had an automatic avail aarg!!!) It's a major yawn and even though it's a hatchback, there isn't room for much more than groceries in the back.
The Hyundai is probably the best buy from an economic viewpoint but there's more to life than money no? The Yaris ain't exactly living large and yet a fella can have just a tiny bit of fun on his morning commute. I like the forum better too. Yaris owners only seem just a little hapless. And I didn't have to lie too much to join the forum, just a little.
