i think a little bit of all those factors are important to consider, if its gonna be strictly an economy car to get from point a -> b then the rest doesn't matter just how much the $ is at the end + mileage.

My gf has an Echo ... it like it. We often take it when we're going to places a few hours away (wouldn't want to have to pack it for a long trip though, haha). It consistently gets around 5.5L/100kms on the highway, my fofo can only put down ~6.7L/100kms at the best of times.

I was considering a Yaris before I picked up the fofo ... little too ugly though, I liked the Echo but the Yaris doesn't really do it for me.
