I want these cars now instead
Although I still love the Sebring Convertible, it doesn’t make any sense in Michigan, and I can’t afford one with low miles on it. Instead I have been looking at sub-compacts. I love the unique styling and the great gas mileage. Here are some of the ones I am looking at:
Hyundai Accent
I just test drove an Accent that looks just like this today. Even though it has a tiny engine, it still takes off pretty well, probably because it is so light. The interior is surprisingly roomy. Liz was able to sit comfortably in the back.
Chevy Aveo
I’ve seen a few of these in person, and I really like them. I haven’t had a chance to drive one yet. I prefer the styling over the Accent. The next picture shows the scale better:
And the hatchback is the big one!
Toyota Yaris:
I can’t afford this one. The sedan is only ‘06 and newer. I don’t like the hatchback as much, but it is still really neat looking, and I could afford it:
I don’t know why I’ve fallen in love with these silly little cars recently, but I would love to have one. It is too bad that they are so hard to find around here. I haven’t even seen a Yaris yet. I liked the Accent, but it will probably sell before I get around to making up my mind. I saw both versions of the Aveo in Coldwater, but they weren’t priced, and the dealership is only open on weekdays, when I have to be in Kalamazoo for work. Hopefully I’ll find something nice soon.
