personally i would vote yaris. i would always vote new car over used. also a used hybrid could problem-matic as its gonna start to need very expensive maintinance and i'd be worried about the life left in the batteries (as ive heard they need to be replaced every 3 - 4 years and cost about 10-20k)

from experience with sedans and bikes, they dont work out well. i have a HB and 2 bikes will fit np. just to make it easier i still got a bike rack.

I got a bike rack too for our echos, but it seems to put too much stress on the trunk lid so the metal would almost bend... Also driving 80 mph for 400 miles on the highway with a bike rack is not a good idea, that is why I am trying to see if they would fit inside...
