    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.

    Re: my new ride

    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.

    Re: my new ride

    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.

    Re: my new ride

    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

    09 fit

    yaris

    teh sex


    None of these compare to

    Re: my new ride

    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
