Of the ones listed on the poll, I would've bought a Kia Rio5. I really liked it, but liked the Yaris more. You got a lot for your money, however, the engine/trans didn't feel as refined, and it was fairly loud on the highway compared to the Yaris.
However, if I had a few extra buck, I would've bought a Suzuki SX4.

I'm voting Fit, but I considered a classic 2nd hand Impreza, Mazda 3, and Ford Focus (the cool Euro style one you guys don't get )

I voted for another Toyota; there are few other cars out there with the reputation. However, for the money, I would have bought a used Volvo; my 245 is 32 years old with 180,000 miles on it, and does many, many things better than the Yaris...

Didn't include the Rabbit and Mini because they get expensive fast (even the base's are pricey).

From the list I picked the Hyundai Accent, because it was the only car available that had 2 doors and a 5MT. If either the Rabbit or Mini came in diesel over here, I would've seriously considered paying too much for it.

My options were:
New 07 Yaris New 07 xA New 07 Fit Used 03 Civic SI Hatch :Blastphamy: Only reason I wish I would have gone with the Xa, is because the next year they were discontinued...might just have to buy one eventually. JDM iST baby!!! But cant say I dont love my Yaris any more than I would have loved an xA. Oh and as for the Civic, I drove it and just didnt like the shifter placement...thats what made me toss out that choice.

I had a smart fortwo ordered but my Neon was gettin' sickly and I had to buy fast. The smart dealer gave me a major 3 car run around trying to get an orphan and I finally bailed to buy my Yaris. The only other car/coupe in the $$ ballpark was the Accent and it wasn't bad for the money.

Yeah, I thought about the xA, too and the Rabbit, Focus, Cobalt, Versa......the price really kept me down to the original 3.

Wow, the Honda Fit has taken a strong lead.
I think the two main reasons many people didn't get the Fit was that it was two pricey for the Sport (necessary) and the extreme scarceness of the '07-'08's. |

I hate to say it but when it really comes down to it, the Toyota dealer was closer than the Honda dealership.

Would have been a Mini for me
Much happier with the Yaris-- Half the price, reg unleaded gas and better, cheaper mods- oh and I just don't have the attitude for a Mini |
