Ford Fiesta vs. Yaris

OP, the test you read about didn't include EPA estimates, as you pointed out. Now you have them, but you ignore them. What's the point of having a discussion if new factual information isn't accepted along the way? 31/39 is less than the previously reported combined 40.

Further, if other members share that their driving behavior results in better mileage, why not consider that as possibly valuable to you, instead of making a sarcastic comment?

More power = great! Light weight = great! Sounds like a great addition to the small car market, and I'm glad it's coming from Ford.

First off I didn't see the 31/39 for myself. That may be the real EPA. Either way, It still beats 29/36 and has more power to boot. I didn't want this to devolve into a thread about how we can achieve better mpg's. There's plenty of those. I don't want this to sound like I'm down on Yaris either. I've seen motorcycles come a long way in power and gas mileage and I was just happy to see Ford offering us a choice.

It is a pretty nice car and I'm glad Ford is finally bringing it over.

Ford has taken a huge leap forward in just two years. It's time to take notice.

The Fiesta is very unlikely to recieve an EPA 40 mpg rating (highway). Maybe about 37, and about 30 city.

I give very high praise on the brilliant interior. This is one of Ford's best interiors ever and it's in a sub-compact! Everyone else will have to step it up.

Wow. It looks pretty good (inside and out). If that had been out a couple of months ago, I could have been driving a Ford around now.
