i think that even though the car is for purely mph i believe that the car has a good potential. i mean its nothing like my 91 nsx but i want to run with the cobalts and the other b.s. cars out there. now after doin research i found that the aveo has a 1.6 engine and still pulls the same mpg. also the nissan pumps out 122 HP with the 1.6. the yaris.... well its toyota. no more needs to be said about them. just a lil bit more punch would be nice out of it. plain and simple i just want somethin to mess around with that isnt too expensive.
i wanna be able to run with the old civic si hatchback's

The Fit has little chance thanks to its boxy shape without severe damage to mpg; and it already does the Aveo in easuily. (I rented one on a trip).
Its a good daily driver. Cornering and driving can be improved but not power without penalty. So its cheaper to buy a hotter model Civic to begin with.

I want the MPG, I want the convenience of using Regular gas.
I looked for the best price on the best mpg with the least pollution with the best reliability/dependability kind of car. And it had to be a relatively small car, because it's a PAIN IN THE BUTT to park, even in marked parking spots when the vehicles have gotten larger but the parking spaces haven't.

If you go on a trip, that gas savings adds up. You can do more things when you get where you're going.
It's the main reason why I still want Honda to make ultra-economy cars like they used to. It doesn't matter if gas is a dollar or ten dollars per gallon, because we still have to use it, and it still costs money.
An awesome two-seater hybrid like the old Insight, but that looks more like the FIT, with the same seating position and the same kind of hatchback. Make the passenger seat a "magic seat". A sun roof. 80 mpg. Yes, I'd give up even more horsepower to have ultra-economy.
