Gaari Means Car. Car Reviews & Car News

Go with a Toyota Matrix or it’s sister car the Pontiac Vibe instead. Look for deals! When they are on sale you can get them for a few hundred more than the xA, but it’s worth it. Base models for both the Matrix and Vibe have almost 25 more horses than anything you listed with almost the same gas mileage per gallon.

I agree with amosunknown, the new Dodge Caliber looks cool too!

I looked at the Scion, the Toyota Yaris and the Honda Fit when looking at new cars recently. The Scion is still a relatively new name, even though Toyota does the production. A guy at the Toyota dealership said it’s their test run company, so they only put things out under the Scion name to test and see whether they sell well. That’s a red flag to me.

The Yaris doesn’t have much cargo space so I don’t like that one at all.

I ended up purchasing the Honda Fit. It’s a big seller overseas and will probably do well in the sates with gas costs going up. It gets 30-44 miles per gallon and so far, I have found that to be true with mine. The back seats fold completely flat without having to remove any seat parts, which opens up tons of cargo space. It drives well in teh city and on the highway. It doesn’t have tons of cubbies but that’s not a make it or break it for me anyway.

If you’re looking to compare you can go to Edmunds.com and compare all 3 models side by side. I would rank them as follows #1 Fit, #2 Scion #3 Yaris (because it’s reviews are bad and nothing comes standard.
