    And extremely sturdy but heavy. On the otherhand the new convertible is a
    car because seats don't come out.

    Canada has the Echo Hatch which is similar to the xA (same as the European
    Yaris). Consider the Chevy Aevo seems like a knock off of the Echo Hatch,
    competition in the segment is going to be high. All we need is an xB that can
    be fitted with an extra row of seats and it should be a hot item. I know one
    of my friend who has 4 young kids and no car, would love it. I believe Honda
    has the 'Fit' which has 3 rows of seat. I wonder if they'll bring it across
    the ocean. All it takes is one manufacture to start a trend and all rest of
    the monkeys are right behind their tale.

    Sorry guy but the PTCrusiser has a great reliability record and on average
    Honda and Toyota dealers are about the worse in the industry according to
    Consumer Reports.

    i just had a bad experience with toyota of cerritos. not surprising,
    since they actually had to shut down for a weekend a while back as
    restitution for fraud charges.

    nothing surprising, tho... usual games like:

    trying to change the interest rate
    general bullshit game playing
    trying to charge $1800 for an extended warranty, then dropping the price
    to $700
    and this was with the fucking *fleet* salespeople!

    i chewed the first guy out when i didnt like his "numbers", then he said
    "maybe theres a mistake in the numbers"

    then i asked how long hed been working there... and he went and got HIS
    boss.

    generally, you have to bring a calculator, redo their math, question
    *everything*, and generally act assertive unless you want to get screwed.

    or just avoid toyota of cerritos like the plague. oh, and theyre an
    autonation dealership. surprising? nah.

    their scion franchise is completely seperate, and much better. dunno why
    that would be.

    Hi,

    Don't forget the 99/00 Civic SiR model. They only come with a dohc b16a2,
    5 spd with pw/pl/pm/psunroof, a/c, heated side mirrors, keyless, abs. They
    sell for a pretty penny. Word of advice don't look at any SiR models for
    less than $15,000. Usually the cheap ones are accident/theft recovery
    rebuilts.

    Honestly I like the Corolla. I've always hear great reviews on it.

    Corolla, definitely. I rented one of these for several days 2 years
    ago. Fast, roomy, comfortable, great gas mileage. The Civic is,
    unfortunately, just a "cheap secretary's car" as one car publication
    described it (no offense to secretaries, God bless them).

    But the Civic is just no where near the refinement standard set by the
    Accord.

    As a daily driver, I know that I could live with a Corolla. I
    wouldn't say that about a Civic despite my Honda brand loyalty.

    Unfortunately, my take is that Toyota dealers on average are ranked
    even lower than Honda dealers for satisfaction.
