I see more of these cars on the roads nowadays and that's a good thing. My friend recently traded in her 1998 Mazda 626 LX V6 full size car for a 2000 Hyundai Accent, which is a compact and she loves how she saves $60/month on gas alone!

I drive a 2002 Toyota Solara convertible. It has Toyota's reliability and fuel efficiency, though nowhere as efficient as the Yaris but it's a fun little coupe so I'm happy. My last car was a Nissan Altima (I think it was sold in Australia as the Nissan Bluebird. How I crave the Bluebird SSS and the Skyline GT-R! LOL) Anyway, that car was really good with economy and had just the right amount of power.
