Some people will buy anything if it has a Toyota badge on it. I like Land Cruisers, and Celicas, obviously Supras, but the rest of the Toyota line bores me.

And what a price you have to pay to have a Toyota badge on your car. Those dealership seem so proud of their high prices.

Personally, I don't care that much about badges, and have tried cars from lots of different countries.

Financially right now, this makes sense. What other 1.8 liter 16 valve can you get new for less than 9,000 dollars?

Nice Inifiniti Koojo, went to your site.

I am not comparing a Kia to an Infiniti. But as far as a world car, meaning sold all over the world, it is not bad. Did you know that the average engine displacement in Great Britain is 1.4 liters? There are a lot of 750CC and 1 liter cars running around there. I have had two cars that had 1,300 CC engines in them (Fiat and Skoda). The Skoda, I even had up to 100 mph. That is faster than what you can legally do on the road anywhere in this country.

For a driving around town, dropping my son off at preschool, getting stuff to and from work, the 1.8 liter motivates that car more than adequate. I had fun chasing a WRX on the freeway yesterday at 80 MPH. I love Imprezas, and I would have bought a TS wagon if I had more money. I am a Master's student at the moment.

I really like the cavernous Hatchback, and being able to fold the back seat and put in lots of stuff. It holds more than my Mercedes.

This car works for me. I am having a fun time driving it, and that is really matters.
