the best sub-compact car

having seen so many SUVs on the road and the recent forum about which is the best SUV. i think the best follow-up question lies in the other extreme end of the car models' spectrum. if all SUVs look bad based on previous discussion, how about the sub-compacts? i know there are huge amounts of rios, yarises and jazz around but how about the other ones like getz and 207? anyone please feel free to pitch in..

I need, first, to buy some Plantation, wicker, high backed rockers and a few palm trees.

I'm considering holding a 'Plant a Plastic Palm Party' - wanna come? :P

The Long Bar at Raffles is, in fact, the ONLY place I've had a Singapore Sling (or three) :D

However, I did get the recipe :P

this isn't really a hijack, more a carjack. Bit bored. Sorry - I'll go and answer my e-mails.

Happy Hols!

Maybe it folds up and you can then put it in the boot of the SUV and get it out for driving around the narrow roads around a baseball pitch.

Could have been a typo and really it's a suv-compact - hehehe

Does a SUV have a boot? (trunk if you are from USA) Probably not - you'd have to kick out half the baseball team to get the suv-compact in.

How's you today?

I didn't join in the SUV discussion - mainly because I had to look up what SUV was an acronym for but, then, when I realised the initials stand for Sports Utility Vehicle I was even MORE confused.

Why are they even DRIVEN on normal roads? What's the point?

Guess that's why some refer to them as 'soccer mum's cars'. :D
