Not sure. I think it's in the same range as our Yaris 5.9 ltr/100 km. This thing scoot around the burbs around here very well indeed. It has been getting good reviews. After doing a brief research I realize we have the 1.5 ltr ST-L....The Mitsubishi Mirage and Nissan Micra both have bigger trunk than our 2nd gen Yaris. I know this because I have looked at them with the Mrs... If we weren't having a bub (baby) i would get this for sure for her.

Here's the real life review for them around here.

Micra curb weight SR 5 spd is 2352 lbs ,SE Yaris 5 spd 2368 as for size they are very close power is little better then Yaris...also Micra track with is little wider so over all same cars in a way under the skin ...now the main thing is how it drives...only down side to SR is that it will only have drums in back as to disk on SE...but in some way better for us Canadians less to worry about with winters and messy roads ...drums can out last disk 3 to 1.
Also price point SR few grad cheaper then SE.

Barber's post makes you realize how "large" small cars have gotten. His Golf would've been a compact car back in the day, but now a Micra is about the same size!

Yesterday I did a search re how much would it cost to rent a Micra in Australia for a month. The Budget Rent a Car site was one of the hits that came up. Budget had both a 3 door manual Micra and a 5-door manual Yaris available (location: at the airport in Sydney). They were assigned to DIFFERENT categories, but the overall cost of the Micra was less than $50.00 AUD less than than the Yaris.
