Not really a post as such, just a way of sharing more than 140 characters with @robertbook on Twitter - he was asking about the Aygo and Yaris, and we've just looked at them.

First off, although we're in the process of buying a Honda, we've had two Toyota Corollas, and been very happy with them. We want a real automatic, though, and Toyota's current autos are switchable manuals where you have to lift off the accelerator to let it change gear. Not as automatic as we wanted. Apart from that, we'd probably be buying another Toyota, and the main reason we're going to Honda is that they seem very similar to Toyota in a lot of ways.
