....I wonder how much of an adverse effect larger larger tires and wheels would have on MPG?......Or if one would then have clearance issues with even a slight increase in size?

Interesting. He doesn't mention MPG/KPL at ALL. He also (while displaying the competitors) calls a Fiesta 'the Focus'. Included one of the few pics I've ever seen of the Fit's (what he calls) 'Magic Seat' flipped up.

Yeah, it's an alright car for the price. I'm impressed with the trunk space for a little car. You might take a look at the Nissan Micra and Suzuki alto. There's the Vw up which is overpriced for what you get. Typical Euro car lol. Anyway, toyota doesn't have an entrant in the segment except maybe the aygo which is BLAND.Have a look at the Daihatsu Mira or Cuore as well. They make 3 cylinder FUN pocket rockets.Unfortunately Toyota pulled the plug in selling Daihatsu's in some parts of the world.

Great knowing a bit more about the cars you mention . The OP lives in the U.S. and, unfortunately , not one of these cars is offered to us in the U.S.

I hate "reviews" like this. they assume everyone buys cars to drag race. this idiot "reviewer" never mentioned mpg, the whole idea of this car.
