Poll Car preference

I recently took my car to the mechanic to see what kind of problems it was having. Turns out that the transmission is on the way out. It would have taken $2,500 to fix so instead I'm going to drive it for a while more (1-2 months) and then get a new vehicle. I already have some ones that I am aiming for:
vw rabbit for its horsepower
scion xARead more... )

Aw, heck, I can't even see the point of this discussion. Talk to me in person for a very in-depth analysis.

Hmm, people seem to like the Yaris and the rabbit. I will get to test drive the rabbit tomorrow. I've already driven the fit and the versa, the fit being much better.

Well, after viewing the rabbit, I have decided that it is not the car for me. It is a bit bigger than I thought it was which makes it have much less mpg and takes up close to if not the same space as a normal car. Only two left now are the yaris and the scion.

Did you get a new yellow car? I may have seen it, I may have dreamed it. I don't know...

No not as of yet. Though now with the wheel damaged along with the transmission damaged I am very tempted to get a fit this weekend. I will just have to see. I would like to drive the scion xA (got to drive the xB) before doing such, but that would be at least 3 weeks away....
:(

3 weeks away??? what takes so long?
the fit is such an ugly car. I must've had a dream about your new yellow car. It was a hatch...I wanna say it was a volkswagen.

I actually like the way the fit looks. I guess each to their own. It does seem to be the best all around (second in mpg, best in handling, my favorite interior, along with many other things).

I just tested the Toyota Yaris and after finding out that it was going to have slightly more power than the scion xA I think I have decided on the Honda Fit. Now just to find one in the Atlanta area.
