The Yaris is my next car! Suzuki Swift was my last car, kind of. It was the version that only the U.S. and Canada got between 1995 and 2001. If they had kept selling the newer Swifts here, I would be interested.

My sister has a 2008 Kia Spectra5, which is the U.S. name for the Cerato hatchback. Solid car, I like it. Gas mileage is somewhere between average and disappointing, though.

When you said "Toyota 86," I though you meant the AE86, and I wondered why you wanted such an old car. The new 86 is sold as the FR-S or Subaru BR-Z here.

Drove my wifey's 2016 Kia Sportage. Solid car, comfortable. Tries to feel and look more expensive than it really is. Someone said KIA stands for..K=KIA I=imitating, A=Audi lol. Kia's are not bad but they lack fun. Very vague steering. Mind you the Sportage diesel has some get up and go when you need it.

Same with Hyundai accent i test drove a while go. They're more comfort orientated brand than putting a smile for miles kind of company. They handle well enough but not a hoot to throw around corners.

Suzuki never owned one before but the reports are good for the Swift sport. it's up there with the Mazda's in terms of driving fun.

I have never owned a European. Volkswagen they are foreign to me the golf looks very nice inside and out.Minimalist design but premium quality feel about them. Not sure about how they drive.


Toyota 86 the BRZ twin Subayota collaboration. I looked at the car and was shocked how cramped it was at the back. I mean I have 2 year old even she would complain back there.
