Personally, I like the three door Yaris, floats my boat more than a Fit. The car is so stupid looking it's actually appealing.

Doesnt' make sense how Edmunds would complain about the gas tank size and range of the car. 10.8 times 33 mpg is 356 miles to a tank. Wonder would they would say about a Rx-8's range?

I guess (with the warning light) many will be putting 9 gal in per fill-up, 9 x 35 = 315 miles. It'd be nice to have ~12.8 gal. Fgure the warning light goes on with 2 gal left so if you could fill up at warning with ~11 gal and get closer to 400 miles.
My sienna has a ~21 gal tank so I'm seeing close to 400 miles per fill-up (at times) usually closer to 350 miles.
It's a small nit to pick, but another 2 gal wouldn't hurt (just about another 14 lbs of weight), and would give you another ~70 miles between fill-ups.
My S2000 usually needs gas at ~220 to 240 miles.

No center armrest? No interest. Call me stupid, but that is ESSENTIAL for long-distance driving comfort. I'd tolerate its absence in an Elise, but that's about it.
PS...my local Acura dealer had an aftermarket armrest made up for the RSX because they had so many complaints about it not having one.

My old Escort didn't have an armrest but since then it's almost taken for granted until you come across a car w/o one.

It's a little thing. Probably could be put on for $10, It seems like they are trimming dime after dime on this car. Remember when cars didn't have passanger side-view mirrors to save $10?

Oh well, wasn't going to buy one anyways, this just reinforces it for me.
