Lots of Toyotas, where are all the negative comments? these articles usually pull out all the haters.

That 4 door Yaris is hot, why cant we have that here in the US?

it's called a 5 door yaris.
4 door would be a sedan. it's all to do whether you can directly access the interior, ie an SL is a 2 door whereas an XK is a 3 door.
a GTI is a 3 or 5 door but a jetta is a 4 door.

Yep, both are cute utes.

The 2.0 T FSI is an excellent powerful and fuel efficient engine.

I'm sure the A4 one is 2.0TFSI, front-trak, manual.

Buying an audi without quattro is like getting a porsche with an automatic imho....

That's what I thought. Until I got my A3. I also have an S4 Cabriolet (duh), and of course, that has quattro. But I got the A3 2.0T DSG on the side and it's much better than you think. You'd have to drive it to appreciate it.

I knew the A3 would be on here, but not the A4.

The problem with owning the Yaris is that you would have to drive it! I would take the Civic any day over this! The civic gets better mielage highway! The civic is also bigger!
