Replying to: harrychezt (Apr 19, 2006 4:39 pm) The nissan versa site now says 32 mpg combined. Do I hear 31? 31 going once.....going twice...

looks like a newer version of my 2001 Kia Sportage 4x4, even the paint job looks similar!   BTW-for those that it may interest, 4x4's retain their resale value better than cars, at least with the Kia brand. My Sportage is still worth around $4,200 with 111,100 miles on it. I was pleasantly surprised to KBB my little SUV and get that news! Should hold true with that Suzuki SUV as well. Of course, that is if you take great care of them, too.

Replying to: chrisducati (Apr 20, 2006 9:45 am) Suzuki representative at the show told me that the car is pretty much loaded with every possible future (US version)including climate control, stability control (option) and six airbags (standard). He said that they working on WRC version - turbo 320HP. That would be something.... Replies to this message: chrisducati (Apr 21, 2006 7:53 am)

Replying to: dglozman (Apr 20, 2006 12:09 pm) Wow, that is in the Subaru WRX STI range. I wonder if we would get a street version. In the past Suzuki has been a very conservative company, automotive wise anyway. The standard Version looks like a great competitor for the Fit,Versa, Yaris, Scion group. Defiantly looks like a mini 4x4 instead of a economy car. From what I remember the 2.0 only gets in the low 30mpg range. That is if it is the same engine that was in the Aerio when it first came out. Maybe they will offer the diesel version in the future.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Apr 17, 2006 11:34 am) Well I'd to add that the Honda Fit lacks a temnperature guage as well. I guess over-heating is not a common problem for these sub-compacts.

#87 of 225 My opinion by carfanatic007 May 03, 2006 (11:58 am)
I think all three are good cars. The Fit is made in Japan. I'm pretty sure the Yaris is also made in Japan. The Versa will be made in Mexico. Call me what you will, I trust a car made in Japan more than a car made in Mexico. My brother had a 1999 Ford Focus ZX2 made in Mexico. It was a piece of junk. Very cheaply made. The current Sentra is made in Japan as will the new one. That is what turns me off about Nissan. The Yaris, while a capable small car, has had mediocre reviews. I'm sure it will run forever with few problems though. The Fit has had good reviews from Car and Driver and Edmunds. I'm waiting for Consumer Reports to do a review. As popular as the new Fit is, I'm sure it will be soon. Replies to this message: bumpy (May 03, 2006 12:10 pm) kyfdx (May 03, 2006 6:42 pm)

Replying to: carfanatic007 (May 03, 2006 11:58 am) Sentras have been built in Mexico since about 1994. Replies to this message: kyfdx (May 03, 2006 6:42 pm)

those haven't been the greatest Sentra ever to emerge from Nissan Inc, that's for sure, although whether that is attributable to the Mexican assembly or merely to the fact that Nissan almost went broke and cheaped out on everything, is subject to debate!   The Versa is going to be the comfort-mobile with the lowest gas mileage in this group.   The Fit will be the sporty model that has a firm and more noisy ride.   The Yaris will be somewhere in between. It will also probably be the one of the three that is obtainable for the least money, since very basic versions (if you don't mind doing without some fairly basic features like a radio) are $2K or more below the stickers of the competitors.   And Rocky: the Aveo? PLEASE PLEASE go drive one, then drive the others, then tell me Aveo is the best. I beg you. I will send you a check for a day's rental of the Aveo if you still think it is the best.   Now the '07 Aveo? You could have something there, but alas it is not yet available to drive. And the '06 Accent and Rio5 are worth a look too, in that case. Replies to this message: rockylee (May 03, 2006 12:30 pm)

Replying to: nippononly (May 03, 2006 12:26 pm) I was trying to "get your goat" well actually one of ya'lls nippononly. you happened to take the hook, line, sinker, because you know Rocky doesn't care that much about the crackerbox segment.   Rocky
