Longest Test Drive?
So in order to get the best test drive experience we could, my wife and I rented a Yaris 5dr hatchback from budget for 3 days :)
Unfortunately it is the non RS model, so it lacks a few things... but really it's only the seats that's missing I think. So far my wife is liking it, she is finding it quite fun to drive... even coming from the TSX. It's very zippy and great in traffic. I gotta say, it's a tough decision when you are thinking to downgrade but the yaris is a pretty nice car overall. We've driven a Fit a lot as well and it's also quite nice... she likes the interior of the Fit better but the yaris is more fun to drive she said. I think the deal breaker on the Fit will be the fact that she can't get it in white :) |

I think rental test drives are a fantastic way to try a car you will be owning and paying for a long time. Great move on your part
Good luck with whichever vehicle you decide on - even though I hope you choose the Yaris - hehe. |

My wife and I were able to rent a Yaris from the dealer. We drove the car for a week and that really help overcome any 'small car' issues that we were having. I would recommend anyone rent a car for a little bit before plunking down the $$!

I rented a Pontic Wave, Kia Rio and Dodge Calibre before buying and that was a fast way to cross them off! I havent seen and Toyotas or Hondas in rental fleets so I couldnt try them out that way (we only have one rental agency in Cold Lake anyways)
