Ford Fiesta vs Toyota Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

I watched a review of this car on top gear UK the other day. According to them there isnt much room in the boot, the back seats dont fold down flat like other cars in the class, and the price is slightly higher than others in its class. Also they didnt get 40 mpg or even close to it when they tested that. I did like the car I think its a good starting point for ford. But in the end it is a ford, It doesn't have that feeling of reliability that toyota has. Every car I have ever owned has been a ford, and while the f-150 is a very reliable truck I have come to understand that ford takes a few years and a few model changes to get things right. So I would say after about 3 years and a few changes I bet this will be a good car. This is a fiesta and has been around for a while but all the changes they have made to it it just doesnt seem like the same car.
