y oh y would you buy that and not a fit

[84Accord]

not my personal favorite. but it gets good mileage.
i'd take an ep3 civic :D

[2ndGenGuy]

Throw some Tein suspension on it, and some Hoosier slicks, and you'll be pulling 1.05g all day long! Looks pretty bitchen lowered out with the fat meats on it.

a couple of my toyota friends bought them when they first came out and they took them back after about 2 weeks lol
said they were not all there cracked up to be

[greentee76]

So I don't keep up with the new models, is it a Yaris?
How did you spec it? I at least hope it is a manual.
Maybe not what I would have picked but I believe there are some on ecomodder.com getting some real good MPG out of them.

[forrest89sei]

Well Yay for a new car but can you put a sedan front clip on it?

Fit Pwns though

shoulda got a ford focus coupe

[SZfiftyfour]

You'll like it. We tested a Yaris, Fit, and xA, and decided on the Scion. But only because the xa looked better to us, as the yaris is practically the same car. I didn't think i would like the xA but its actually a pretty nice city car. It owns the Fit IMO. Im a diehard Honda guy, but driving the Fit killed me a little inside. Underpowered (even in mini-car terms), Geared wrong, and effin ugly as sin. Sorry Honda.

looks good.. good luck with it.. my neighbor has one.. its really small.. took him 15 mins to wash it.. haha.. but looks good..

[Pico]

I've been thinking of getting a new car too

[Civic Accord Honda]

O.o what its the only decent looking economy car out there imo

[SZfiftyfour]

^ Its got the same power and weight as a civic but less mpg 24/35, compared to civics 30/38. For the same price. And the civic looks better. Thread jack concluded. *No thread jack backs

worng and i keep seeing new civics broken down and on tow trucks it talked to one guy i saw over by my place he said his trans died only had 7K on it too..

k done thread jacking :P


anywho yeah just get some better rims on the yaris and lower it and some tint

what are ur plans for the accord?

[mastaofdisasta]

lol, well i didnt tihnk most of you would like it. Heres the dealio yo, yaris is much cheaper, this car im gettin is going to be about 14k out the door, base model, absloute base, manual windows etc etc but idc its cheaper. ALSO ITS A 5 SPD. As for the fit...i drove it and it wasnt my thing, too mini-vanish, and ya i know all the reviews say the fit is the best econobox out there, but if i always listened to reviews from someone else life wouldnt be as interesting : ) I love the yaris, its smaller than the fit lighter than the fit and has only 3hp less. Better gas mileage etc. I do like this fit and the fit is a good econobox but it didnt just sit with me. I think these yarii have potential, people are doing some neat-o things with them as well. Its got the vvti which is toyotas version of vtech. AS for my accord. Be damned if im actually going to sell it. It would honestly tear me up too much inside. So i tihnk im gonna autocross it a bit until it gets old enough then throw antique tags on it XD Nothing will ever compare to my 3gee, Im bringing that fucking car to my grave. NO getting this car does not mean im going to be anti honda. I love honda, always have and always will. And im not leaving the forum yall is just too much fun.

and as for the fit vs yaris. I see a little bit of yaris styling in the 09 fit.... maybe im jsut wierd what do u think O.o

07 fit

[Hauntd ca3]

anyone got pics of the new focus rs?
looks like the wrc car
2.5l 5cylinder turbo
300hp 400+nm torque
sounds like fun to me

[MessyHonda]

i would only get the fit if it had the k20 engine

[mastaofdisasta]

yaris 2300 lbs
honda fit 2500 lbs
kia rio 2365 lbs
nissan versa 2693 lbs
08 focus 2588 lbs
suzuki reno 2750 lbs
89 accord 2556 lbs

HOLY SHIT
your right the yaris' are VERY heavy

Also, yaris is one of the cheapest new econoboxes with mine costing just a hair over 14k

The day i drive a ford is the day i hand in my lisence to the MVA

The handling may not be that great but it is easily fixed for about a grand, o and then its still under the price of the honda fit and the "nicer" econoboxes.

center gauge clusters are safer than regular kinds, because u only glance over to the right instead of looking down and taking ur eyes off of the road

research is your best friend

[Civic Accord Honda]

well 14k is actually kinda expensive for a econobox the new hyundai accents are pretty nice and they start at like 11k
http://www.hyundaiusa.com/vehicle/accent/accent.aspx
and u can get the elantra for like under 14k and there very nice!

Well the ford have dropped RS project so there will not be an RS model, but the prototype picks were released

http://www.bekkelund.net/img/blogg/ford_focus_rs_08_03.jpg

they mean that the Focus ST is good anof. The RS model would come with the same 4x4 as a WRC cars and almost the same sequential gear box as in WRC cars, but in the last moment they desidet to not to, mainly because of the build price. They were afraid that they make new Escort Cosworth whitch was faster them most Ferraries at its time. But its not for sure yet, maybe noff pressure from enthusiast make them change their minds
So... In the mean time we'll get only a ST model, Volvo R5 turbo engine @300Hp FWD..

[SteveDX89]

I don't personally like them but i can see why you would get one. Good luck with it, hope it treats you well.
