Found the weight on Toyotas site. Its listed at 2295 which is unchanged I believe.
The problem with small cars is they get bigger over time. I saw a Honda Accord in the showroom last summer with a sticker that claimed the car got 16 mpg. If anything they should get smaller/lighter/smaller engine. |

There was a nice photo I saw somewhere on the internet a long time ago, that compared an 80's Accord and a late model. It seems that the modern Civic is much closer to what the Accord was originally, and likewise can be said about the Corolla/Camry relationship. I guess these new models (Yaris/Vios/City/Fiesta/Mazda2) are stepping in to fill the void.
It's typical Western ideology (having been born and raised in the USA); bigger is better. And just like shopping at Costco, it doesn't always come with rewards. Often times shopping at Costco, I would end up with a bunch of unconsumed spoiled produce; or waste. I for one, am very happy that the Yaris didn't get much bigger. I only wish that they spent a little more time on a more interesting interior/exterior design.

Yeah, that design doesn't do it for me either. Looks too much like a Kia. I'm sticking with my 07.

I like my 2010 model year better. The 2012 doesn't have the cool center speedometer!! Also I think the body looks better on the older ones not the 2012. It is okay though, just not as good.

Those pictures don't do anything for me. I think the the interior styling is plain and awkward, and the back angle is not very flattering. The chrome on the rear is also a sore sight.

I don't like the exterior but I guess I'll get used to it, the interior is fine. But I'll have to test drive it, I don't expect to find many differences.

But you can find some decent mid-size/small cars for your familly, like a Prius, which is the size of a compact car but almost as roomy as a Camry, and light enough (at least it would be without the hybrid system). |

Not feeling that at all. Driver n passenger upper glove compartments with mid dash cluster was immensely attractive. This looks run of the mill n boring, not to mention that the back looks funky.
