This is one of the main reasons I favor the Accent SE. And you had stated, larger wheels (standard 16s), along with sport-tuned suspension, close to the level of the Tib. The sport shifter just makes it so much fun. Maunal of course

The Yaris lift

is classicly cute. Overall it has a pleasing, cute shape. If a LB was what I wanted(I need a 4-door rig)then I would've test drove a Yaris LB when new-car shopping five months ago. The front end design and shaping looks better on the LB than the sedan, IMO.

I agree, the Yaris hatch is really a cute car. I think my daughter would love the looks of it (my next car will go to her in a few years). I like the Accent hatch's looks also; it has classis 3-door hatch lines. I especially like its rear end and side profile.

The Yaris lift is extremely cute, and I find it a bit strange that a 49 year old, 6' 215 lb man such as myself is so attracted to it. Shouldn't I be attracted to something more manly like a Corvette or a pickup? Is there something wrong with me?

with you. You need to go out and buy one of those new pick-em-up trucks that are getting so big and so long that they're starting to take on the shape of buses!

...if I were to buy one of those Hemi powered trucks, 3000 miles a month divided by 8 MPG....hmmm...I'm not too good at math, but that would be a ton of money each month just for gas. I'd better keep looking at the "cute" vehicles.

Or the Cummins diesel - now THAT is definitely an un-cute engine.

I think the last several posts show that we are all pretty much in agreement that this class of cars is certainly the best way to meet our transportation needs in this day and age. Arguing about whether the Accent is a better car than the Yaris or vice versa is pretty much a case of splitting hairs. Either one is preferrable to a big Pick-up or SUV. Now if we can only convince our spouses of that, we will really have accomplished something.
