go for a yaris, toyota is the number one car maker for a reason. no american made car can compair to it. good luck.
Reply:Buy a corolla or Matrix great cars and your "Buying american"too because they are made in Freemont California .You will average 33 MPG.
Reply:Anyone in the market for a Yaris should also look at a Honda Fit.





Small sedans are impractical, especially with all the things that travel with a child. Hatches are far more configurable, and can easily swallow large toys, strollers, etc.





Regarding "Buy American"... you can buy American when America produces a small car worth owning. Aveo = All Aboard the Failboat.
Reply:I have a yaris. Its 4 doors, 2003 colour collection... i dont know if they look the same in the USA but mines in Scotland is cute :) I find the fuel consumption is quite good. I wouldnt recommend 'buying american'. They're not the best cars to drive or own. You simply cant compare and American car to a Japanese car. If your looking for a car that will run forever then a Japanese car is the way to go.





Hope this helped.
Reply:A four door auto would run you abour $13k. They actually look like mini Camrys!





Great on gas, could do without the gauges in the middle though. They are spacious cars.





The Fits are nice cars, but Honda needs to remember this is America though, not Britain or Japan. Hatchbacks are not needed or really wanted here, except for the tuner crowd in which the Mazda3 owns. If Honda would make a sedan Fit they could have a winner, or come up with something a little more thoughtful, like Toyota did with the xB. Otherwise Honda will stay in the shadow of Toyota in sales, production, quality, resale, reliability, and overall value.
Reply:assuming you do some sort of normal financing (3 years or so, not 6 otherwise the interest is going to knock it up a few thousand dollars) and don't do much add ons, you can probably find a new yaris sedan for around $15000. i love my yaris hatchback, but the sedan really does look like any other car but not as ugly as as Hyundai or something. good luck!
Reply:The Toyota Yaris is an excellent choice. It has Consumer Reports' highest predicted reliability rating and the manual version is on the ACEEE's greenest dozen, with the automatic transmission not far behind. Also, the Toyota Echo, its less refined predecessor, has CR's highest Reliability Verdicts for all 6 of its model years and is on AutoOnInfo.net's very selective best lists for model years 2000 through 2004. Consumer Reports gives its manufacturer suggested retail price range (without options and without destination charges) from $11,350 to $13,725, depending on transmission and body style.





The Yaris comes as a sedan or a two-door hatchback. This is likely its greatest shortcoming. The Honda Fit comes as a 4-door hatchback and also carries CR's highest predicted reliability, and its manual transmission is also in ACEEE's greenest dozen. The extra room that a 4-door hatchback offers will likely be very much appreciated over the years; its cargo carrying capacity should surprise anyone who hasn't previously owned a 4-door hatchback. However, the price of the Fit is higher, CR's price range is $13,950 to $15,270. The Fit has been AutoOnInfo.net's top pick for the past 2 years.
