Am I the only one that thinks that things like Fits and Yaris’s are really lame ways to spend $17k? I mean, they’re incredibly economical, sensible, and responsible. Yuck.

you are the only one that thinks an 11k car costs 17k though
yaris sedan fully loaded is still a few grand under 17.
so would i spend 11 and have 6 left in my pocket for beer? maybe… combined with the money saved on fuel you could buy a lot of beer, or a project car and keep the daily just that… a reliable daily driver.

lol, no shit
Personally I’d take the yaris/fit for the price purely based on weight alone.

Ah. I never thought to check that. Never assume, lest you make an ass out of yourself. Or something like that…
11k for a Japanese built econobox would kick ass for someone who drives a lot and needs a vehicle with a stupid low total cost of ownership. :tup:

No, because the Fit is fun to drive. And not a boat like the other cars listed.

How dare you call my car a boat. ☹
