The scion XD, while rather uhm interesting...outside, is actually a very good hot rod Yaris (basically a yaris with the corolla's 1.8)
i enjoyed the scion a lot. it was even usable in winter
i had many hyundai accent/kia rio rentals. They are surprisingly good cars just rather small. But if you are OK with that, I'd probably go for the Accent. Mine even had a nice factory stereo with sat radio and everything.
