1. Fit - best value at $13K on up
 
1a. xA - honorable mention at $14K on up
 
2. Yaris - best value for $11K, Fit is nicer if you are spending $13,5 or more. Yaris is a bit too basic for those prices
 
3. Versa - Ugly, but more fuel-efficient than the Fit and has that 6-speed standard.
 
4. '07 Accent - sloppy shifter but good looks and value-packed as usual for a Hyundai. Best warranty, of course.
 
5. Aveo - bargain priced and looks and acts the part, but has optional equipment some of the others don't (an available moonroof? Separates it from the pack, except for the $15K version of the Accent).

Okay then, what's your pick for best car under 2500 pounds?
 
Right now my pick is the same, since I'm waiting for a diesel to show up.

Not in this country you can't. The US-spec Elise weighs more like 2000 pounds. At that point, I might as well get an AE86 or early Miata.

Ok bumpy, your original weight was 2500, which the lotus still falls under.
 
We are finally getting some rain to put out these gosh darn grass fires that ya'll have seen on national news,
God Bless

goes to the Honda Fit. The Yaris is second, and the Versa is third.
 
The Accent would also be on my list, as would be the Scion xA.

of the Scion xA. I finally test-drove a 2006 Polar White Scion xA with 5-speeds the other day. I liked it but, if really ready to buy, would absolutely have to drive the 2006 Kia Rio5 and 2006 Kia Rio LX sedan before making any kind of a decision. Small cars made these days are just plain smarter decisions to buy. With ghastly prices like they are it just makes sense. Plus they drive with authority, besides being small.
 
My son was along for the test drive with the salesman in the 2006 Scion xA, and I asked him if he was cramped in the back seat. He said that he absolutely was not cramped in the back seat, at all, even.
 
Small cars rule the automotive roost, men. I don't see how my eyes and noggin could ever, ever see it any other way.

I wouldn't have the nerve to buy a Kia. I don't trust them and I'm counting on some equity after 5 years for a trade in. Who will want a 5 year old Kia?
