Looking to get a YARIS!

[TheJames]

awesome man. thanks for the help! definitely in the comparison stage. i haven't found anything to rule out any of the subcompact, except i cant stand the look of the fit unfortunately. it's probably going to boil down to finding the best bargain. i'm going used for sure. i really appreciate the info. that supcompact website looks like it'll be a ton of help and alot easier than registering for 8 different forums :D

I know what you mean about the FIT.

Well, the best bargain is the Yaris, IMO. I come from Honda, so I'm not saying that lightly.

There are cheaper domestic cars, but they're not historically as reliable as any Toyota or Honda. As to the Mazda, Mini=Cooper, etc., they're more expensive to run. My opinion, of course.

Good luck with your decision.

i agree completely. despite wanting to help the US companies out, i just can't sacrifice reliability, and knowing that the manufacture could go out of business or be taken over by the gov't and lose any quality care that they had doesn't sway me in the domestic direction. i also agree about maintaining a mazda or mini bmw, but i like working on my own stuff and not that big of a fan of dealer/warrenty work
