What are your favorite non-Yaris alternatives, and why?

I checked out the 2001 Rio before buying my 2001 ECHO. That car truly was junk! I couldn't BELIEVE the US would allow such a crudely made car to be sold in this country! If they GAVE me one I wouldn't even sell it much less drive it. I don't want to be any part of someone dying.

There was a guy on the ECHO list at Edmunds who wouldn't shut up about Kias and Hyundais. Said they were just a good as Toyotas! I cut him down to size every chance I got!

If I could drive one (suspension too stiff) and fix it, I would own a 1999 silver with black interior Miata and seldom drive the Yaris! Had one for many years...

Any issues with having a convertible re winters in the Northeast and not having a garage?

No. The last five or so winters we are in a Little Ice Age here in SJ. Cold and Snowy! I think when I owned the Miata we were in a period of little snow and cold.

You definitely don't want a foot of snow on your vinyl roof!

That's what I was thinking about.
