It's on my short list to replace the Yaris in a year or so. Probably the SX.

My buddy's got one, didn't go for a spin, but the interior is pretty damm nice.
Should be faster than the Yaris as well (138hp and 2500lbs).

Sometime next year the RIO will get the engine that shuts down when stopped ( http://onlocation.consumerreports.or...w/Kia_Rio.html ) . Many vehicles in JAPAN are like that . May think about that one . Want to wait and see how dependable they are . Also considering the 2012 SUBARU Impreza with the CVT that's rated 36 highway / 27 city or the FIT hybrid that possibly arrives late next year .
