Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead

regarding the 1.5L engine being "extremely quick" i'm curious what you drove before you got it? ?

That's just it, it' extremely quick for 1.5L (assuming manual tranny). Also, the xA isn't a Yaris, even if the engine is similar, at the wheels it's a different story.

My last car was a 98 Civic Hatch, which was faster then the Yaris and return better fuel consumption. However, the Yaris was still quicker from 120km to 150km, but after 150km, the Civic was quicker. The fastest car I've driven was a Turbo Supra and the fastest car I've owned was V8 Cutlass Supreme.
