To me, the clutch just feels weird in the 09. I like the Yaris better for the clutch.

the thing about the jetta wagons though, is that i had more passenger space in my matrix...but the jetta does have more room behind the rear seats....

Jettas are fine until one has to repair it: bring money, lots of it... Same thing with the Audi!

Here's a quote from my dad for ya; 'The old OX is a 2007 with the 3.4 engine and I haven't checked the mileage the old fashioned way for a long time. The gauges say the current tank full is giving us 9.5 Lts. per 100 klics. but that was going to Sarnia running around there and here. The numbers your friend is leary of likely are the 2010 4 bangers with 6 speed and 17 in. rubber like ours. Add a 6 cyl. and all wheel drive etc. and it goes downhill. We shall see if we get what G.M. is saying.'

I'll be very interested in the new Equinox figures as well. If it manages to live up to GMs claims, it will actually run more efficient than my Yaris real world experience.

Try testing out a Saab, they are crazy fun to drive. But they are crazy expensive to fix. I had a great mechanic on speed dial so I had no problem owning 2 of them. They just are not for people who want to be frugal.
