But let's just see how the newer models hold up in the long run.
Also, Focus' gas mileage is about the same as the Matrix, but not as good as the Corolla.
Possible to buy used Matrix/Vibe for $8k?

Then again, which DOES get better mileage than the corolla ? (non hybrid)

and compare. It looks like only the Yaris gets better fuel economy than the Corolla with a manual transmission unless you opt for a diesel engine or hybrid.
"... tiring to point out..."
Well, you're right about that.
OK, so I wasted a couple of guys' time on this. The Toyota's cheaper. GM has some sort of "conquest" rebate going for $1K (I'd have to demonstrate I'm switching "back" to GM by purchasing what is essentially a Toyota with a Pontiac sticker on its nose), plus $500 for something else. The $1K rebate does NOT appear on Edmunds. The Toyota still ended up cheaper but not by as much as I expected.
Happy now?

I'm not surprised Edmonds did not include the $1,000 rebate. I told you one can not rely on Edmunds to even get a true selling price, let alone a total drive home price. What equipment on each and was the total drive home price for each and what all was included in that price?

The Vibe had no options at all and the Matrix offered $500 or so in various things.
The big picture here is that the Matrix is cheaper, which was my original assertion.
