Yaris or Fit for example.
We will eventually get a Fit to replace our "family" car. I've looked at the Yaris and it's just not unique enough and believe it or not, it's just a bit too long to park it where I have the space. I'm not leaving it out in the street like I did with my Civic and have it vandalized at night. The spot in my driveway is small and only a Smart (or maybe a Mini) will park there and allow my other cars to get by.

You want to have a fun driving experience, go MINI and take a hammer to the wall or whatever.

Perfect

smart car with a hyabusa motor swap.

back to smart...dave, the 3-door yaris can't be bigger than a mini....i swear that thing could fit in a suitcase...it's beyond tiny.

were you comparing measurements of the 3-door hatch or some other version?
