Replying to: bottgers (Jul 15, 2007 5:29 pm) Be careful about the Yaris, take it on the highway before deciding. Even CR, which usually praises all that is Toyota rated the Yaris very low. If you like to drive, I dont think you'll like the Yaris.

Replying to: irismg (Jul 15, 2007 9:54 am) I completely understand, my friend. I think "out loud" on the forums all the time (lots of people do it). The people that seem to like the manumatic feature don't use it for what the marketing guys from the carmakers say (who tend to say it is the best of both worlds, "the control of a manual without the hassle of a clutch, and the automatic is there for traffic crawling, etc...") The norm seems to be that people like how easy it is to use the "M" shift gate for engine braking; locking into 3rd gear on a hill, etc. Always ask a question here; if one person can't help, it is very likely someone else CAN. Best, Thegrad |

Replying to: bottgers (Jul 16, 2007 6:15 am) The average CR reader has a household income of about $140k which is probably a *bit* above the those who generally drive an economy car by necessity. Those people are generally driving larger, more powerful vehicles that against which any subcompact will seem pretty cheap. When I take one of the fleet cars out for a week - especially the high end models - I am always surprised that I can still drive my usual car and be happy with it.

| the civic si is actually not that much more expensive than certain 3 models (excluding speed3, in which the si's handling still is not to far behind.), and while you don't get creature comforts as leather and such, it is the superior performing car. and as ok as the 3's gearbox is, the civic si's is proabably the best in the sub 25k pricerange. | |
| This is the Civic vs Corolla vs Mazda3 discussion. Cobalts, Yariis, Echos, Fits don't really belong here. The Economy Sedans discussion would be a good place to pursue some of this recent conversation. | |

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 14, 2006 1:38 pm) I am planing to buy a 2007 Honda Civic LE. I was wondering if any one has bought the Honda Civic in the past week or so, so I can get the price information that they paid. I am not very good in negotiating the price. Thanks in advance.
