While I know that xA is more performace oriented, the yaris is tiny and cheap, and the versa is just there as the same, wondered if anyone knew of people that had these and what not and what they think.

I test drove a Yaris today and wow that thing had get-up. I'm sure the xA and versa would no disappoint either, so the big thing is pricing with options and all that. although, decking either out for the most part without stupid minor things they come out even. so i guess it comes to styling.

which one looks...coolest. W/e, it doens't matter, I just like opinions. Thanks!

ever consider a VW Rabbit or GTI? Rabbits come loaded and list new for 15k. GTI's run a little more, but have the 2.0T (a sweet little turbo-charged number that pumps out 200hp and 207ft/lbs torque).

Anyway, the cars you listed are fairly similar in styling, but just figured I throw out another couple of options for you.

I don't like them all in my opinion.

Versa got much better crash test ratings the all others in its class, and its also bigger then the others considered a compact while the others are sub-compact. So it may give you more room for your dollar, and IMHO safety is a big concern when buying a small car
