    Of the three, I'd go with the Yaris. I've owned a couple Toyota's and you just can't beat the reliability. I believe the Yaris will get you the best MPG too.

    How many miles are on each one?
  • I have owned 28 cars over the past 8 years and the best two cars I have ever had were a jeep wrangler and a honda civic. Your best off economically to aim for a lower mileage car 5-8 years old which has depreciated in value but still a relatively 'new' car.

    I wrote what the mileage is, the hyundai is lass than 25,000, the 2010 versa is 38,000, the 2009 versa is 31,000 and the yaris is 41,000.

    I am in a program called more than wheels that has helped me fix my credit problems and I've built a positive payment history, they work with select dealers to get me a gas efficient car, with an interest rate of 5.7 percent, these cars are my choices, I asked for slightly used as opposed to new for the depreciated value, I think I have kicked the hyundai out of my decision, Yaris would be my 1st choice but as I research the yaris and versa, i find the parts are less for a versa. out of the two versa I am leaning towards the 09 opposed to the 10 because less mileage on it, the versa says 32mpg and the yaris says 35 mpg.

    another worry is they are all small but I live in new england which would be better handling in snow

    I know people who work on cars that say Honda's are the best.

    Sorry, I didn't know what the "under 25k", etc, meant.

    Toyotas are excellent cars and parts don't cost an arm and a leg when it needs repairs so you've made an excellent choice. :)
