Toyota Yaris vs Ford Fiesta

[DefStarYaris]

Does fine on hills. I did a cross country trip with my liftback LOADED and had little trouble going through the mountains and hills on the way. Mountain driving with it empty or just my bike on the back is no problem, and really fun.

I don't know about the sedan, but I'm 6 feet tall and have plenty of room in my liftback.

That's good to hear. I only have 90 miles so far, so I don't know too much yet. I got the manual tranny. It is really fun to drive which is what I was looking for as long as I could still get pretty good mpg, so I'm happy so far.

I had a black one to start with, but then after making some phone calls & researching the paperwork I realized I was duped into buying a "used" car. Apparently somebody had a misdelivery or something & got the wrong color. It had 220 miles on it. I was not happy at all, so I went back to the dealer & they swapped it even for a blue one. I don't know if it was their fault or not, because the salesman drove to the next town to pick up a black one for me from another dealer.

He never mentioned it was actually a "used" car. I had 2 problems with that: 1) I want to break in my own car, just so I know it's history. 2) I guarantee if I actually wanted that car which was now legally "used" I would have paid $1000 less. So anyway they made it right last night & I think I like the blue better anyway.

What brand/model of bike rack do you have?
