Hi everybody,

I've been lurking for some time and wanted to thank you all for an informative forum. Hopefully I can add something from time to time - at least when it comes to general car knowledge.

I'm still trying to decide if a 370z would be right for me as my only car out here in the frozen flatlands of Ohio (although I know it will get warmer for part of the year). :)

I'll be sure to always search first, but bear with me if I ask questions that have been asked before.

Welcome aboard!

the 08 Yaris isnt boring...it's fuel efficient....lol
lot's of engineering went into it.......ha


welcome to the forums.

I'm sure it carves through traffic well :D

easy parking also, just look at it........so tiny

Thanks for the welcome, guys. The Yaris is indeed a good little car, but it certainly doesn't inspire much excitement. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

Imagine...........having both a Z and a yaris....one day slow mo and the next day zipping around

I haven't had a chance to drive in the newer yaris. I do like that my sisters Hond Fit with the 'sports pack' comes with skirting and paddle shifters. Yes. Paddle Shifters.

"All that matters in the mind of a Ricer, is in the mind of a Ricer."
-Confuse-cious :confused:

The Fit is a very nice car. The latest design for the Fit is a huge improvement over the first generation (not that the old one was bad).

Having test-driven one recently, I would say that the Fit has the edge in handling while the Yaris might have a very slight advantage under the hood. Compared to the rather dowdy Yaris, the new Fit's design is terrific.

I admit it's on my short list for cars that size, because you can drive it like a golf cart and fit it anywhere on the roads. At the same time, it's also surprisingly huge inside. My sister gets most of her stuff to from college in it, a lot more than i could say about even the newer mini. I just found the paddle shifters a bit absurd, because it is literally a 1-1.5 second shift. It kind of scared me the first time, because I went to shift at about 3,500, and didn't pop until i think 5,000. I thought i broke my sister's new car :P
