Thanks for clearing up why we get that vibration on bumpy roads. My wife has a 06 Corolla S and I took it back to the Dealer shortly after we purchased the car for that exact reason. The reason the Dealer gave us was that we had incorrect air pressure in the tires and she had to get use to a driving a smaller car. I knew this wasn't true because I check her tires regularly and her 93 Camry wasn't all that much bigger. 95% of the time it's fine but that other 5% was driving her crazy. There are certain roads in the area she refuses to drive down because she feels the car is going shake apart.
 
Other than that she loves the car and is getting 30+ miles per gallon all city driving.

Yaris vs Corolla vs Cobalt vs Civic by ashik

I am planning to buy a new car within next 10 days. I need a small or compact car and after some researches, I have come upto 4 cars that I want to buy. I will choose one of them. I appreciate any comment from you on those 4 to make my decision more effective. My requirements are -
 
1) The car must not be big. So small or compact size is good for me.
2) Must be 4 door.
3) Auto gear.
4) Good mileage.
 
The cars I liked -
 
1) Honda Civic Sedan LX 2006 Model - I like the dashboard and the look. But seems a little costly.
 
2) Toyota Corolla 2006 - Seems really good option for me.
 
3) Chevrollete Cobalt - I like its size and shape very much.
 
4) Toyota Yaris 2007 - I like this car though didn't go for a test drive yet. I want to know its difference and similaririty with Cobalt on size and shape. Its new and less expensive than others.
 
Comments please.

Glad to help. I have to chuckle at how similar our experiences are. The car is good-lucking for its price range, and that's what keeps me from weeping. But at times I'm close to giving it up anyway due to the damn rear suspension.
 
Hope your wife fully adjusts eventually. Eight months on and I still haven't.

The Yaris has a smaller engine than all the others. It has less power, but less weight as well, so if you mostly ride alone or with one passenger, it will be just as fast. It will get better gas mileage than any of the others.
 
Corolla and probably Cobalt will be updated in the next year or two, making your new car an "old car" sooner. Yaris and Civic are brand new models, so your car will seem new longer.
 
The Yaris sedan has the cheapest interior of any of these models - the most hard plastics. You will also pay less for it (depending on equipment) than any of the others.

Nissan just redesigned the Quest minivan interior and put the gage panel back in front of the steering wheel as opposed to the center on the previous version. This van has had poor sales and one likely reason was the center gage panel.The Scion Xb has a center gage panel but it is tilted towards the driver, making it easier to read.

TDI starts at $21,605. Add extra taxes, registration, insurance, options $$$$....if your concern is money..makes no sense at all. If you like the car, great, but not really a competitor for a yaris or even corolla.
