Quoted so people could get a second laugh.

The Yaris and Versa hatches deserved to die. Or rather, Toyota and Nissan needed to stop pretending to sell cars.

Back when I was looking, the only way to get a Versa hatch with a good transmission (manual) was to do without any other good features: I insist on being able to pick my gear ratio, but I'm perfectly happy to let the car operate my windows and locks. The only way to get a Yaris hatch with a manual was to do without a decent number of doors. I've got 2 kids and a dog, for efsake.

Good riddance, I say.
