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.

It has to have that "HEMI" though.

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.

While the cars are similar in size and purpose, I (and some professional auto reviewers) think there are significant differences between them--which is why comparison discussions like this are useful.
 
I don't have the problem of convincing my spouse of anything. She has her MPV and is happy; I have my small car and am happy with that, and will continue to buy no more car than I need. At least, until my kids have all flown the coop and I get my (used) Bimmer.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. I am very impressed with that sedan and I'm getting around 20mpg city and 30mpg highway. This is good enough mileage for me but I know that many of you would prefer better than that. I just love the bodystyling done on this car.
 
Since this thread is about the 2007 Toyota Yaris liftback vs. the 2007 Hyundai Accent I will say that I would probably lean towards the Yaris LB if it was just between these two cars. I like the Yaris' styling better. I would need to test drive these two in a back-to-back manner, though, because I would have some concerns that the Yaris LB might get blown around more in the heavy winds and by semi-trucks on the freeways. I'd want to take both on an extensive freeway trip before I bought either one. I'm a 4-door guy though I do like both of these cars and small cars in general.

Your wife has an MPV too? What year? We bought my wife's MPV new in '03. Overall, we're very happy with it. It had a couple of issues that were all taken care of under warranty. It could be a little easier on gas, but it is a minivan and we did kind of expect it not to be that great on gas. Sorry, off topic.

2002, bought used last year. Yes, it's off topic.

My point exactly, my wife's 2002 Lexus LS430 EPA ratings are the same as your wives' MPV ratings, less than half of the gas mileage that my Yaris gets. More car than she needs, but the Yaris is not consistent with the image that she feels she must project as a Realtor. Very similar to the guys that feel they need the big trucks to confirm their manhood. We are on the cutting edge though, things will change as oil prices continue to escalate.
