I was wondering which I should get?

With its bigger boot, and ipod connection, the Yaris seems to be the obvious choice, it also has a bigger engine at 1.6, so should have more power...but I do like the look of the Rx7.

What do you think??

I'd say the Yaris may be a tad more reliable with the slightly bigger engine.

I believe the OP might "having" a "giraffe" as it is colloquially known.

Oh my...I must be a complete dhead yes they don't do a 1.6

Still the 1.4D must be comparible.

If you only can get 1.4 Yaris perhaps should look at a Hyundy Matrix. It has a 1.6L of engine which is much biggerer than 1.3 RX7 or Starlet other poster suggested. Or there is 1.5D version which has turbo so will have much more torques.

Yaris won't need a rebuild every three weeks (two in David's case).

OK I feel guilty now.....it was meant to be funny as everyone seems to compare the Rx7 with some sort of car so that is what I did....I just choose something out of the ordinary!

If anyone had looked at my profile they would have seen my Rx race car...so maybe realised that I was having a giraffe!! lol
