Thanks uraz! The Fiat is good looking(to me). Europeans are very experienced in making small but practical cars and I have confidence in them. I do not know about the car's reliability and handling characteristics because Fiats are hard to find in Canada. If it is good in those two aspects, it should be able to give the Yaris a good run for the money, considering that it comes with a long list of available equipment.

I particularly like the Fiat's optional dual zone climate control, window airbags(that is how they call it), cruise control, parking sensors and rain sensors (listed as available on the 1.3 multiJet model, the one that I have checked out).

Having said that, this is a Yaris board and you can expect that many members will be inclined to support the Yaris. I think it is hard to go wrong with a Yaris, unless you find some must have feature on the Fiat which you cannot find on the Yaris..............
