Drove a 2013 Fiat 500 for a week; Love my Yaris even more

My Yaris feels about as sharp at 106000 miles as it did new. That is very important to me. I dont know any 500 owners approaching 6 digits. On their forums ,the owners appear much more for giving of repairs than we do.

Yea, I like the interior of the 500, the Abarth, and all of the MINI models better than the Yaris. However, I'd be concerned re repairs with any of them. That would be enough to chase me away.
