If you buy one you're stuck with it because they refuse to die Yeah - daughter came over Christmas with her 98 Corolla (originally ours). Speedo over 300k. She took it for a warrant while she was here and it just needed a wheel bearing When talking about SMALL cars, the question is what do you mean by small? Our current car, a 2008 Corolla wagon, is by far the "smallest" we've had in terms of fuel consumption. Officially it's 5.8 L/100km. In practical terms it does 600km between re-fuelings, which are always less than 40 litres. Previous "small" cars that we've had only managed 500km between re-fuelings. If you want a car that's PHYSICALLY small (because you're old like me and manoeuvring is a potential problem) the important thing is the car's width. On that basis, the Yaris is not a small car. It's as wide as our Corolla wagon (1.7m). A small car is one that's only 1.6m wide. Keep in mind that the original Mini was only 1.4m wide, the Starlet 1.53m. There are only 2 common new cars 1.6m wide - the Suzuki Alto and the Barina Spark There's a lot of confusion about "small". These days, a car that's physically "big" can have quite a small fuel consumption. Our Corolla wagon looks big but it has a small fuel consumption because it has a very efficient engine (helped by it being only 1500ml, though you would never notice driving it) |
