I like Mini's, but they're literally the least reliable car on the American road, along with the Jeep Wrangler.

The Prius has absolutely zero soul. My sister bought one and sold it immediately for that very reason.

No personal experience with the Fiat 500, but my son rented one for a week in southern Spain and had a ball.

In terms of build quality, performance, mileage and driving fun, I'd recommend looking at the Mazda3. It's one of Car & Drivers Top 10 (along with some very hot cars). I've owned both the 3 and 6 and both are great cars with among the very lowest depreciation in the business.

The Prius isn't all that small either. The Fiat wins that prize. And I agree with finn. The Mazda3 is the way to go. It's a little screamer.

Did you quote the wrong post on purpose or are you just a moron?

Did you read the title of the thread or are you just drunk & without a real life, spending every precious moment you have left in this place?
