Definitely Going To Buy A Yaris Liftback!!!

[Kramaris]

Hello All!

I've been cruising this board for a while now and have been out doing test drives on gas sipping cars lately... since the price of gas is rising faster than a Grandpa on Viagra!

Right now I am the the proud owner of a 2005 Scion xB that is quickly approaching 55,000 miles.... without one single problem! I live in Sacramento California and tend to rack up a lot of miles driving from here to San Francisco and Los Angeles. When my car hits 75,000 the warranty will be up, so I will end up trading it in within the next 6-12 months. I originally was going to buy a Honda Fit... after a test drive I felt so let down... 0 to 60mph in a half an hour! I was expecting it to be quicker.

I also took the new Hyundai Accent SE Hatchback for a spin.... not a bad little beast, but I am kinda leery about the quality of it. I've read on other messageboards where the engine light keeps coming on in a bunch of owners cars and Hyundai is ending up replacing the heads on the engines.... yikes! No thanks!

So that left the Yaris Liftback as my final test drive. (Sorry Chevy Aveo fans... I will not be caught dead in a re-badged Daewoo!) I was most impressed by the Yaris. It has the same engine and powertrain as my xB, so driving it feels oh so familiar. Plus the Yaris is lighter and feels a little more peppy.... plus gas mileage will be a little better. Yaris wins hands down! Or a!

I better get going now... I need to put 20,000 miles on the xB right quick to get my Yaris!
Can't let my Scion warranty go to waste!

Later!
